CWI researchers make power grid more reliable with mathematics
(PHYSorg.com Physics)

Researchers from Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), the national research institute for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands, discovered how large fluctuations in solar and wind energy, combined with the physical network dynamics of electricity, can cause failures in power grids. The mathematical framework developed by the researchers helps to predict the appearance of potential power line failures. The article was published in Physical Review Letters on 21 June 2018.
