Step 1: Select Power Grid System
Choose the electric grid infrastructure system you want to analyze for cascade failure vulnerabilities. Each system type has unique topology characteristics and critical operational parameters.
Transmission Network (345-765kV)
CRITICALHigh-voltage transmission system including substations, transmission lines, and interconnection points. Critical for bulk power transfer and grid stability.
Distribution Network (4-138kV)
HIGHMedium and low voltage distribution system delivering power to end customers. Includes distribution substations, feeders, and protection systems.
Generation Fleet & Storage
HIGHPower generation assets including conventional plants, renewable resources, and energy storage systems. Critical for maintaining generation-load balance.
SCADA & Control Systems
MEDIUMGrid control and monitoring systems including SCADA, EMS, protection relays, and communication networks. Essential for grid operations and situational awareness.
