Cascading failures in power grids

Propagation and vulnerability analysis

Project work for the PhD course in Data Science for Networks at SmartData@PoliTO.

1. Report.pdf is a report describing the problem, discussing the analysis and the results.
2. Simulation.m is MATLAB script that simulates the evolution of a cascade triggered by the removal of a line from a power network using MATPOWER, a free, open-source Electric Power System Simulation and Optimization Tool. It outputs the files "Topology.json" and "Cascade.json".
3. Analysys.ipynb is a Jupyter Notebook containing the Python code that performs analysis and data visualization.
