• The assurance of sufficient generating and transmission capacity, in view of the projected loads and equipment availability, so that the Loss of Load Probability (LOLP) shall not exceed the design level; • The ability to withstand the sudden loss of a major generator or transmission line, without inducing any other outages; • The ability to withstand line faults without losing any generators; • The minimization of system breakdown, as measured by loss of generation, cascading line outage, and loss of load when disturbances more severe than expected may occur; and • The ability to restore service quickly and smoothly after a complete system breakdown and source interruption. Probability that power demand exceeds generation capacity.
