Mitigation and Prevention of Cascading Outages: Methodologies and Practical Applications

The overall goal of this panel is to present state-of-the-art research and practical applications in the area of mitigation and prevention of cascading outage events in electric power systems. In response to recent large blackouts there is an increasing need to understand and mitigate blackout risk in electric power systems. This session will highlight the importance to further study mitigation and preventive actions as well as do future research in transforming data into actionable information to mitigate cascading blackout risk.
