The statistics of power grids can be quite complex. My PhD student Xinyi Wen analyzed data from multiple continents and found heavy tails, bimodal distributions and more. Check out our latest article in Scientific Reports: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Power grids are complex systems with both deterministic and stochastic aspects. We extract the stochastic properties (drift and diffusion) from European and Australian data and train explainable AI (XAI) models, identifying key factors, see our article in Chaos:

Analyzing deterministic and stochastic influences on the power grid frequency dynamics with explainable artificial intelligence
Power grids are essential for our society, connecting consumers and generators. Their frequency stability is impacted by supply and demand changes, including de
