Abstract
Complex network analysis is a new multidisciplinary approach to characterize the structure and function of power grid as a complex network to establish the communication topology between the grid stations. By taking this into consideration, we are trying to design a reliable system which continuously supplies power to the grid station which can able to avoid the cascading failures, i.e., blackouts. In this article, we model the power grid as an undirected graph through which the different connectivity of power grid is represented as a measure to evaluate structure and function of power grid. The goal of this paper is to characterize the topological structure of the West Bengal of India power grid and evaluate the performance of electricity infrastructures.
