ABSTRACT This article investigates the characterization of cascading phenomena within sociotechnical systems through a systematic review and the development of a conceptual modelling framework. Cascading phenomena, often described using terms such as ripple effect, domino effect, cascading failure, risk propagation and cascading effect, capture the far‐

Note that the terms ‘syncope’ and ‘loss of consciousness’ are not interchangeable as loss of consciousness can be due to either syncopal or non-syncopal causes. Syncope is a form of loss of consciousness in which hypoperfusion of the brain is the cause (from the Greek syn (together) and kopein (to cut), referring to the fact that the blood flow that ...

STATISTICAL STUDIES OF POLAR RADIO BLACKOUTS
A statistical study of high frequency radio blackouts in Canada is made from records taken at several ionosphere sounding stations. Both vertical incidence and communication data are examined to determine the geographical, seasonal, and diurnal ...

ABSTRACT Load‐frequency control (LFC) comprises a primary process in interconnected electrical power systems, playing a critical role in maintaining the stability and reliability of the electrical grid. It is of paramount importance that the designed controller functions in an optimal manner, particularly with regard to the compression of area ...

This study explores the integration of Blackout Diffusion into the DIFUSCO framework for combinatorial optimization, specifically targeting the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). Inspired by the success of discrete-time diffusion models (D3PM) in maintaining structural integrity, we extend the paradigm to a continuous-time framework, leveraging the ...

Analyzing Cascading Failures and Blackouts Using Utility Outage Data
Historical utility data for cascading failure and large blackouts is foundational for understanding and quantifying blackouts. This chapter surveys some of the main ideas in obtaining and exploiting the patterns in this data, beyond the useful lessons ...
