in what happened during the North East blackout? Come to the IEEE's
"Out of Step Rapid Voltage Collapse Tutorial" scheduled to be held on
A recent headline from Associated Press:

Before Blackout
(AP) - The Midwest power
system recorded numerous voltage swings as early as midday Thursday, long before
