There is a huge variety of systems that can be described by complex structures in the format of networks. These complex networks have certain properties that can be used in the analysis of various aspects of the systems and for many different purposes. This paper aims to investigate the structural properties and operation of energy distribution networks, considering different topologies and applications, in order to determine a model, its properties and its behavior through the use of complex networks. A test case of an electrical power distribution will be presented, with its corresponding graph that will, through complex network modeling, allow profound analysis of the network behavior, considering the performance characteristics as well as the resilience and fault identification. This will allow operators and engineers to check the practicality of the operation and management of the network, as well as help them planning and optimizing it with the use of the network resources.
