The talk will discuss catastrophic failures in power systems. Some of the past failures will be described, and the reasons for their occurrence explained. The focus of this discussion will be on the protection system used on power systems, and the reasons for their inappropriate operations under stressed power system states. One of the developments which offers interesting countermeasures for power system failures is the synchrophasor technology. The lecture will go over the origin of this technology, and explain why this technology offers superior capabilities for making black-outs less frequent and less intense.
