In response to the growing importance of power system security and reliability Transmission
Grid Security proposes a systematic and probabilistic approach for transmission grid security
analysis. The analysis presented uses probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) and takes into
account the power system dynamics after severe faults. In the method shown in this book the
power system states (stable not stable system breakdown etc.) are connected with the
substation reliability model. In this way it is possible to: estimate the system-wide
consequences of grid faults identify a chain of events that might lead to blackout andrank the
importance of different substation components at the system level.Transmission Grid Security
also presents the main features and basic mathematics of PSA. It provides the reader with
up-to-date knowledge of the regulatory issues affecting the security of transmission grids in
Europe.Transmission Grid Security gives a practical method for the security analysis of
transmission grids making it a valuable text for engineers and system operators as well as
postgraduate students. It includes basic information and detailed modules for creating a
reliability model that takes into account all the basic operations and components needed after
grid faults.
