VOLTAGE STABILITY
10-64
If the final outcome were anticipated at the initial stage, from the overall system condition
prevailing at the beginning of the disturbance, well before the onset of the collapse, the system
might have been saved by operator action, by promptly initiating appropriate amount of load
shedding at the appropriate locations. The initial stage may not, however, indicate the need for
such actions.
