Michael, There are also few contingencies defined as "N-0" and "N-2". A N-1 contingency means that outage/failure of single element/equipment will have no effect on the system, i.e. the grid remains secure and stable. However, the occurrence of one more contingency will leave stable unstable or insecure or both.
Thus, a "N-2" compliant system is better to operate Aman On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 1:22 PM, Loren Michael <[email protected]>wrote: > Regards, > i have a question that why contingency 's called "N-1" ? > thank you > -- Aman Bansal, M.Tech.
