This lecture provides a complex-systems analysis of the April 28th power grid blackout, exploring the underlying dynamics that led to this significant power failure. Delve into the interdisciplinary approach used by the Instituto de Física Interdisciplinar y Sistemas Complejos (IFISC) to understand how power grids function as complex systems, why they sometimes fail, and what factors contributed to this specific blackout event. Learn about the mathematical models, network theory, and physical principles that help explain grid stability, cascading failures, and resilience in modern electrical infrastructure.
