ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we will review the sensitivity analysis techniques applied for DSA and preventive control. The power system security is defined as “the ability of the bulk power system to withstand sudden disturbances such as electric short circuits or unanticipated loss of system components” (Fouad 1988). This implies that following the occurrence of a sudden disturbance, (i) the power system will survive the ensuing transient and transit to an acceptable steady-state condition, and (ii) in this new steady-state condition, all power system components operate within established limits.
