Advanced Planning Tools for the Prevention of System-wide Blackouts of Large Power Systems

2003年，美国/加拿大、意大利和斯堪的纳维亚半岛发生了大规模停电，导致数十亿美元的生产损失，并引起了人们对国家安全的担忧。防止停电应该是电力行业的首要任务之一。任何国家的任何关键基础设施的国家安全都更容易受到长期停电的影响。该项目将提供全面的规划工具，以防止澳大利亚国家电网停电。给电力行业带来的任何好处，最终都会给整个国民经济和安全带来进一步的好处。

In 2003 there had been major power blackouts in US/Canada, Italy and in Scandinavia leading to billions of dollars of lost production and had raised concern about national security. Prevention of blackout should be one of the highest priorities of the electricity industry. National security for any critical infrastructure of any country is more vulnerable for a prolonged blackout. This project will provide comprehensive planning tools to prevent blackouts in the Australian National Electricity grid. Any benefit to electricity industry will finally result in further benefits to the national economy and security as a whole.
