Abstract: Smart grids are widely interacting with other communicative grids and it can be said that they are interconnected grids. Owing to their interdependency, a partial failure in these grids may cause cascading failures. To prevent failure, smart grids should be able to restore themselves and quickly return to their desirable conditions despite emerging errors. Therefore, it is vital to investigate the effect of communicative grids' various dependencies and structural properties on smart power grids' cascading failures. Nowadays, smart grids infrastructure modelling is one of the most important plans and priorities of many governments and power companies. The current study investigated and introduced a modelling approach to analyse failures and critical infrastructures in smart power grids. The results showed that accurate modelling of smart equipment components would make it possible to identify and prevent cascading failures in smart grids.
