Cascading failure model for multi-level interdependent networks based on delay distribution under load target

In the multi-level interdependent network where the target node was under load, in order to prevent the occurrence of large-scale cascading failures, enhance the robustness of the network and improve the efficiency of load completion, a cascading failure model with adjustable parameters was proposed. New initial loads and node capacities were set in this model, a load delay distribution mechanism was constructed and load redistribution rules were formulated on the basis of the heterogeneity and uniformity of load distribution. The cascading failure conditions of this model were analyzed and parsed, and simulation experiments were carried out through the WS-BA interdependent network. The results show that under a certain network capacity, the robustness and efficiency of the network can be improved by reasonably adjusting the heterogeneity and uniformity parameters. © 2024 National University of Defense Technology.
