Abstract
The electric features of small-world power grids are the focus of this chapter. The DC power flow model is utilized to analyze the power flow characteristics and the synchronization capabilities of small-world power grids. We then perform the assessment of the grid’s structural vulnerability when examining the key buses of power plants, substations and important tie lines.
