>>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<< any operator worth his salt would tell you that this is not true.

Transactions do get cut -- in emergency situations -- load does get shed. It is most certainly NOT more economic to split the grid into a bunch of smaller grids.
