It is well known that many real-world systems can be described by complex networks with the nodes and the edges representing the individuals and their communications, respectively. Based on recent advances in complex networks, this paper aims to provide some new methodologies to study some fundamental problems in smart grids. In particular, it summarises some results for networks properties, distributed control and optimisation, and pinning control in complex networks and tries to reveal how these new technologies can be applied in smart grids.
