Contingency Analysis
ECG 740
1
Background
• Power System Security involves practices designed to
keep the system operating when components fail.
• Most power systems are operated such that any single
initial failure event will not leave other components
heavily overloaded.
• The above is referred to as the NERC (n-1) rule!, i.e., no
single outage will result in flow or voltage violations.
• System security can be broken down into 3 major
functions: a) system monitoring – Chap. 9, b)
contingency analysis, Chap. 7, c) security-constrained
OPF – Chap. 8.

Contingency Analysis
(Detection of Network Problems)
• Generation outages:
The initial imbalance will result in frequency drop which
must be restored (Chap. 10).
Other generators must make up the loss of power from
the outaged generator – must have sufficient spinning
reserve.
Line flows and bus voltages will be altered – check for
violations.
• Transmission Outages:
All flows in nearby lines and bus voltages will be
affected.
The result can be line flow limit and/or voltage limit
violations.
• Other outages
Bus outages
Loss of load
