In this work we provide novel tools to evaluate the ``realism'' of a power system topology based combining ideas from the study of complex networks with electrical system parameters. Specifically, we show that the recent network-of-networks approach of Halappanavar, et al.\ can be used to gain insight into reasonable ranges for topological properties of a power system such as, diameter, average shortest path length, core size, and clustering.
