Table 1 Comparison of passive control and proactive control by the EPCC
Attribute | Passive control | Proactive control |
|---|---|---|
Information used | Electric power system | Gas system and electric power system |
When to act | When cascading failure propagates to the power system (slow response) | When a major failure occurs in the gas system (fast response) |
Control effect | Extreme control measures, such as load shedding to offset the power deficit | Moderate control strategies of generator regulation to mitigate the power deficit |
Impact on livelihood | Potentially very high | Avoided or significantly reduced |
