Power System Restoration???A Task Force Report

The IEEE PES System Operation Subcommittee has established the Power System Restoration Task Force to review operating practices, conduct a literature search, prepare relevant glossaries and bibliographies, and promote information exchange through technical papers. This is the first report of the Task Force. The body of the report consists of notes prepared by members of the Task Force. It should not be inferred that a complete reporting on the Power System Restoration is undertaken here. The intent is to report upon the work of the Task Force to date. The report reviews several different restoration plans and shows their common concerns and constraints. It describes power system characteristics and considerations relevant to restoration. Finally, it provides a bibliography covering 1940 to 1984.
