Abstract: This study explores network science algorithms for the robustness analysis of electricity networks. We first investigate the characteristics of key network models including random graphs, small-world, and scale-free networks. Then, various measures are explored for the robustness of such networks against failure or attack, utilizing topological features and percolation theory. Both weighted and unweighted scenarios are studied, with network voltage considered as the edge weight. For a case study, we investigate the network characteristics as well as the robustness of the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM) network on the basis of these models and theories.
