Network Giant Components

How resilient is an energy network? A giant component is the largest group of nodes that remain connected. Click any edge to remove it and watch the network fragment. Click two nodes to add a new connection and observe how components merge.

Interactive network giant-components simulation.

Remove critical edges to see how a robust network can suddenly fragment.

Click an edge to remove it. Click two nodes in sequence to add a connection.
