What is it about?
This paper describes the main security and reliability criteria for power system planning. The objective is to provide the basic information on the technical design specifications and criteria, technical terms and equipment parameters for successful planning and the requirements of normal case (N), contingency cases (N-1). Additional criteria, that covering aspects of quality of supply which are often contained in the grid code should be considered in conjunction with the security standards.

Why is it important?
The paper describes the main features, criteria and technical design requirements to cope with the development of power grids including connection of large generating plants, transmission system expansion, substation expansions and international connections to external power systems.
Perspectives
I hope this article helps planning and design engineers in the field of power system practice and also researchers in academia.
