A Case Study on National Electricity Blackout of Turkey

The necessary precautions should be taken in order to prevent service interruption during the maintenance and repairing of electricity networks. Among these measures, emergencies that may occur network foreseen, hazard scenarios created, solutions developed. If are not done, a blackout, which first follows local regions eventually results collapse national electrical network, take place. In this study, blackout Turkey occurred on 31 March 2015 is examined. information about Turkey’s infrastructure its energy policies was provided, as well reliability assessment criteria for power systems examples significant blackouts worldwide. direct relation between line voltage system frequency provided with mathematical derivation by using real data from industrial zone. Then, case study presented demonstrate relation. causes, development process, consequences discussed detail, some recommendations offered increase security future occurrences while ensuring sustainability system.
