Abstract Graphs have a wide variety of real-world applications. In the area of social networks,
graphs are composed of individuals and their relationships with others. Analysis of
social networks led to the discovery of the small-world phenomena, which is also
known as six degrees of separation. Our analysis is focused on discovering the
properties of real-world power grids. Analyzing the structure of power grids is useful
for protecting it from various forms of attack. Power grid failure is a devastating
event that can be triggered by certain events. We describe what randomly generated
grids are similar to real power grids, so that tests can be run with the randomly
generated experimental model grids. We also evaluate the clustering of similar nodes
within a power grid so that computers can have a better understanding of the power
grid's operation at any point in time.
