On the August 14, 2003 Blackout : Final Report by the New York Independent System Operator

Finding the cause of the power outage occurred fairly quickly subsequent to the Aug. 14, 2003 blackout. It was analyzing the system disturbance, collecting the data, developing models of the precursors to the event & evaluating reliability that took time. This final report, which succeeds an interim report issued by the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) in Jan. 2004, includes N.Y.'s response to the event, various computer simulations of the event, & possible physical &/or procedural improvements to the N.Y. system. Chapters: Executive Summary; The System Disturbance; Bulk Power System Restoration; The Market; Conclusion & On-going Work; Sequence of Events/Timeline; & DoE Final Report.
