Dynamical Models of Power Grids: Identifying and Curing Weak Links — •Martin Rohden and Hildegard Meyer-Ortmanns — Jacobs University Bremen, Canpus Ring 8, 28759 Bremen

The inclusion of more and more renewable energy sources into modern power grids leads inevitably to drastic changes of the topology of power grids [1]. Nevertheless it is not known to date what an optimal network topology for power transport and robustness could be. Adding simply new transmission lines can induce long-ranged alterations on the power flow [2]. Here we use the recently introduced novel criteria of redundant capacities to identify weak links in power grids. We propose new strategies to cure these critical links and show their advantages over possible alternatives. Our results may serve as a step towards optimal network topologies in real-world power grids.
