Calculate the effects of a cascade

Iterates through the network removing edges until no edges are over the line limit and the network has stabilised.

Cascade(
  NetworkList,
  Iteration = 0,
  StopCascade = Inf,
  g0 = NULL,
  AZero,
  LineProperties,
  Generation = "Generation",
  Demand = "Demand",
  EdgeName = "Link",
  VertexName = "name",
  Net_generation = "BalencedPower",
  power_flow = "PowerFlow",
  edge_limit = "Link.Limit"
)

Arguments

NetworkList	A list of power-grid networks.
Iteration	The current iteration number
StopCascade	The number of iterations when cascade will be forced to terminate. An integer, default is set to infinity.
g0	An igraph object. The graph in its initial state
AZero	a matrix. This is created by the 'CreateTransmission' function
LineProperties	a matrix This is created by the LinePropertiesMatrix function
Generation	The name of the node generation variable. A character string.
Demand	the name of the node Load variable. A character string.
EdgeName	The variable that holds the edge names, a character string.
VertexName	The variable that holds the names of the nodes, to identify the slack ref. a character string
Net_generation	The name that the net generation data for each node is held in
power_flow	A character string. This value indicates the name of the edge attribute that holds power flow, the default is "PowerFlow"
edge_limit	A character string. This value indicates the name of the edge attribute that holds the edge limit, the default is "Link.Limit"

Details

This is a recursive function that calls itself repeatedly until the cascade has come to a stop and the network has stabilised. The function produces a list of graphs showing each state of the cascade. This function is mostly used as part of the AttackTheGrid function.
