Foreword
Electricity and its related electricity transmission and distribution systems are crucial elements in today’s society. We are depending on these systems more than most of us are aware of. But in case of an outage, we (or at least, most people) start to realise how important electricity is in our daily life. It is not only our personal environment that undergoes the impact of such an outage (with our many home devices), but also larger outages will significantly undermine the functionality of hospitals, airports, railways, etc. And long duration outages of a couple of days or longer can even become very frightening. For example, in the Netherlands, pumping stations bring water from lower areas back to the rivers and if these start to fail (for example, the main Dutch airport Schiphol is located in an area which is up to five meters below sea level!). With that, network owners are of course working on ways to keep or get their electricity network reliable and if an outage happens, to be able to reroute electricity quickly, in order to reduce the outage time
