Abstract :
Cascading failures in power systems are very rare processes but often with very severe consequences. There are various tools for mitigation of dangerous network conditions that could lead to cascading; most of them based on the protection relays. We suggest that wide area monitoring and control is a very suitable concept and a viable alternative for this purpose.
