Abstract :
The integrity of large-scale interconnected power grids may break down under system disturbances. The postdisturbance system may even turn out to cause a major blackout. To mitigate the undesired impacts of system disturbances, special protection systems (SPSs), also known as remedial action schemes (RASs), are widely used in modern power grids to safeguard their integrity.
