Complexity and vulnerability of Smartgrid systems

In this paper, we look at the complexity and relate d vulnerability characteristics of Smartgrids. Typical characteristics of complex systems, such as self-organization, emergence, chaotic behavior and evolution, are considered with respect to Smart grids as future energy infrastructures. These characteristics are categorized as inherent, challe nge-response, or acquired. This guides the identification of major sources of uncertainty in t he infrastructure. Topological and behavioral characteristics of Smartgrids are also explored wit h the aim of identifying potential vulnerabilities. 1 elizaveta.kuznetsova@uvsq.fr 2 keith.culver@universud-paris.fr 3 enrico.zio@ecp.fr , enrico.zio@supelec.fr 4 enrico.zio@polimit.it 2 We additionally discuss the assumptions, limitations a d degree of precision of Smartgrids modeling.
