Masters Theses
"In order to increase the reliability of the power system and to make use of trapped generation potential from renewable sources due to lack of transmission availability, the interconnection of modern day power systems is increasing day by day. Lack of timely response to the ramping load and high degree of interconnection can lead to cascading failures. Upon inception, these can spread through the system within seconds and may result in a total system blackout.
Natural calamities and erroneous operations of components are often the causes of system disturbances. The type and the location of these disturbances determine it's impact …
