Grid Security: Problem Statement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Transmission Grid Security

Part of the book series: Power Systems ((POWSYS))

Abstract

Chapter 2 presents the basic properties of meshed transmission grids, concentrating especially on the reliability. The concepts of N − 1 criterion, adequacy, and security are presented. Different substation schemes are addressed.

The dynamics of the power systems after faults are briefly described. The PSA approach, used in this book, is presented, and the motivation to use it for reliability analyses for transmission systems is given. The state of the art in the field of the reliability assessments of power systems is described.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Maybe it is worth mentioning that often dependability is the general term describing reliability. IEC standard Dependability and quality of service uses dependability as a term of collective availability performance but points out that it is used only for general description in non-quantitative terms (IEC 60050-191).
