OT: That may be, but the philosophy that is used to run them is flawed. Presently there is no agreed way to disengage parts of the system or individual plants when major disruptions begin to occur. That makes failure far more expensive and wide spread when it occurs. Preemptive disengagement from the overall grid can be far less costly and result in less overall time down. A Utility's first obligation is to its rate payers....not somebody 300 miles away who is sucking the grid into an unsustainable surge.

I believe that we will see the concept of maintaining the grid alter and become less dogmatic as the industry struggles to maintain power over an increasingly inadequate and outdated system. The reason will be the same that you cite: economics.
