Workshop within the SigmaPhi 2026. Chania, Crete, Greece. 6 - 10 July, 2026
Increasing fluctuations by environmental changes, de-carbonization, rapidly growing energy demand put high pressure on the energy distribution systems. Even small failures can lead to large cascade of outages, like in case of the 2025 great Iberian peninsula blackout. Modeling operation and development of power-grid networks with the tools of statistical physics has been developed fast recently and provided new look on these close to critical systems. In this workshop we provide the latest developments by the experts of this field embracing complex multi-disciplinary disciplines ranging from network science, physics, engineering to data science.
