Abstract :
The identification of critical nodes is relevant to determine the structural vulnerability of an Electric Power System. In this article, centrality indices from the area of complex networks analysis are adapted to identify nodes and lines that result critical for the transmission of energy. The centrality indices are calculated in each sub-graph, to rapidly assess the structural vulnerability of the power grid. To validate the proposal different network topologies are analyzed.
