A Vision to Enhance Transmission Security: The Case of Switzerland's Power System

It is hard to imagine life without electricity. Electrical energy is constantly consumed to allow humanity to carry out diverse activities ranging from charging mobile phones to controlling the flow of vehicles and pedestrians with traffic lights. Due to its widespread usage and significance, some people take the availability of electric power for granted and expect that the lights will always turn on when they turn on the switch. Nevertheless, when illuminating our rooms, we need to appreciate that an extensive power system infrastructure is in place to securely generate, transport, and distribute electrical energy to our homes.
