A survey of current operational problems (of power systems)

This paper is one of a series prepared for use in the Working Group on Current Operational Problems (COPS) forums with the goal of focusing attention of the industry on problems faced by those who are involved in actual power system operation. The results of a survey on operational problems are presented. Statistical information compiled for various categories of operational problems is given with some general observations about the results. A rough comparison is made between the results of this survey and the first COPS problem list of 1976.<>
