The increasing factors of uncertainty faced by the system are due to the deep coupling of the
electric power cyber network and the physical network. Consequently, ensuring the efficient …

Part of the second edition of The Electric Power Engineering Handbook, Power System
Stability and Control offers conveniently focused and detailed information covering all …

Modern power systems are facing increased risk of disasters that can cause extended
outages. The presence of remote control switches, distributed generators (DGs), and energy …

We verify and examine criticality in a 1000 bus network with an AC blackout model that
represents many of the interactions that occur in cascading failure. At the critical loading …

Cascading failures present severe threats to power grid security, and thus vulnerability
assessment of power grids is of significant importance. Focusing on analytic methods, this …

Cascading failure in electric power systems is a complicated problem for which a variety of
models, software tools, and analytical tools have been proposed but are difficult to verify …

Zone 3 of a step-distance protection scheme has been identified as one of the contributing
causes of cascading failures in power systems. The National Electric Reliability Council …

Deterministic security criteria provide a degree of security that may be insufficient under
some operating conditions and excessive for others. To determine an appropriate level of …

Conventional under-frequency load-shedding scheme is designed to retrieve the balance of
generation and consumption following a disturbance. In the conventional load-shedding …

Protection system failure is one of the main causes of cascading outages. This paper
proposes an integrated scheme to study power system vulnerability considering protection …
