Stochastic quantum models for the dynamics of power grids.

While electric power grids play a key role in the decarbonization of society, it remains unclear how recent trends, such as the strong integration of renewable energies, can affect their stability. Power oscillation modes, which are key to the stability of the grid, are traditionally studied numerically with the conventional viewpoint of two regimes of extended (inter-area) or localized (intra-area) modes. In this article we introduce an analogy based on stochastic quantum models and demonstrate its applicability to power systems.
