Abstract
This paper is part of a project that studies risk
analysis and management methods for major disturbances in
the supply of electric power. In this project, a major
disturbance in the supply of electric power is defined as
a long lasting or widespread interruption in the supply
of electric power, during which the fire and rescue
services and one or more other public actor
(municipality, police, etc.) need, in addition to the
distribution system operator (DSO), to start implementing
measures for reducing possible severe consequences to
people and property. In Finland, in 2001 storms Pyry and
Janika and four storms of the summer 2010 are good
examples of major disturbances. In these storms, some
individual customers were left without electricity even
for weeks. Major outage in UCTE's area in November 2006
concerned a wide area in Europe and caused societal
consequences even if it was short lasting. As represented
in the definition, major disturbances also require
actions from authorities. In many previous studies, it
has come up that there is a need for better communication
between actors in major disturbances.
