For a power system operating in the vicinity of the power transfer limit of its transmission system, effect of stochastic fluctuations of power loads can become critical as a sufficiently strong such fluctuation may activate voltage instability and lead to a large scale collapse of the system. Considering the effect of these stochastic fluctuations near a codimension 1 saddle-node bifurcation, we explicitly calculate the autocorrelation function of the state vector and show how its behavior explains the phenomenon of critical slowing-down often observed for power systems on the threshold of blackout. We also estimate the collapse probability/mean clearing time for the power system and construct a new indicator function signaling the proximity to a large scale collapse. The new indicator function is easy to estimate in real time using PMU data feeds as well as SCADA information about fluctuations of power load on the nodes of the power grid. We discuss control strategies leading to the minimization of the collapse probability.

In this paper, we study the quantum dynamics of a one degree-of-freedom (DOF) Hamiltonian that is a normal form for a saddle node bifurcation of equilibrium points in phase space. The Hamiltonian has the form of the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy. The bifurcation parameter is in the potential energy function and its effect on the potential energy is to vary the depth of the potential well. The main focus is to evaluate the effect of the depth of the well on the quantum dynamics. This evaluation is carried out through the computation of energy eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the time-independent Schrodinger equations, expectation values and position uncertainties for position coordinate, and Wigner functions.
Formation or destruction of hyperbolic chaotic attractor under parameter variation is considered with an example represented by Smale--Williams solenoid in stroboscopic Poincar{e} map of two alternately excited non-autonomous van der Pol oscillators. The transition occupies a narrow but finite parameter interval and progresses in such way that periodic orbits constituting a skeleton of the attractor undergo saddle-node bifurcation events involving partner orbits from the attractor and from a non-attracting invariant set, which forms together with its stable manifold a basin boundary of the attractor.
The size distributions of power outages are shown to depend on the stress, or the proximity of the load of an electrical grid to complete breakdown. Using the data for the U.S. between 2002-2017, we show that the outage statistics are dependent on the usage levels during different hours of the day and months of the year. At higher load, not only are more failures likely, but the distribution of failure sizes shifts, to favor larger events. At a finer spatial scale, different regions within the U.S. can be shown to respond differently in terms of the outage statistics to variations in the usage (load). The response, in turn, corresponds to the respective bias towards larger or smaller failures in those regions. We provide a simple model, using realistic grid topologies, which can nonetheless demonstrate biases as a function of the applied load, as in the data. Given sufficient data of small scale events, the method can be used to identify vulnerable regions in power grids prior to major blackouts.
Monitoring and modelling the power grid frequency is key to ensuring stability in the electrical power system. Many tools exist to investigate the detailed deterministic dynamics and especially the bulk behaviour of the frequency. However, far less attention has been paid to its stochastic properties, and there is a need for a cohesive framework that couples both short-time scale fluctuations and bulk behaviour. Moreover, commonly assumed uncorrelated stochastic noise is predominantly employed in modelling in energy systems. In this publication, we examine the stochastic properties of six synchronous power-grid frequency recording with high-temporal resolution of the Nordic Grid from September 2013, focusing on the increments of the frequency recordings. We show that these increments follow non-Gaussian statistics and display spatial and temporal correlations. Furthermore, we report two different physical synchronisation phenomena: a very short timescale phase synchronisation ($<2,$s) followed by a slightly larger timescale amplitude synchronisation ($2,$s-$5,$s). Overall, these results provide guidance on how to model fluctuations in power systems.
Results regarding probable bifurcations from fixed points are presented in the context of general dynamical systems (real, random matrices), time-delay dynamical systems (companion matrices), and a set of mappings known for their properties as universal approximators (neural networks). The eigenvalue spectra is considered both numerically and analytically using previous work of Edelman et. al. Based upon the numerical evidence, various conjectures are presented. The conclusion is that in many circumstances, most bifurcations from fixed points of large dynamical systems will be due to complex eigenvalues. Nevertheless, surprising situations are presented for which the aforementioned conclusion is not general, e.g. real random matrices with Gaussian elements with a large positive mean and finite variance.
