An analysis of previous blackouts in the world: Lessons for China׳s power industry

TLDR
In this article, the authors analyzed the sphere of influence, the scale of the effects, the restoration measures and the causes of previous worldwide blackouts and proposed suggestions for the development of China's power industry.
Abstract
Large-scale blackouts have occurred frequently throughout the world. The blackouts that have occurred in recent years not only seriously affect the lives of local residents, but they also cause substantial economic losses. In particular, as modern society increasingly depends on electricity, power outages occurring at any time may result in devastating consequences. Accordingly, identifying the reasons for blackouts and implementing proper restoration measures are of particular importance. This paper analyses the sphere of influence, the scale of the effects, the restoration measures and the causes of previous worldwide blackouts. Based on the findings, suggestions for the development of China׳s power industry are then offered.

Large blackouts in North America: Historical trends and policy implications

TL;DR: This paper found that the frequency of large blackouts in the United States has not decreased over time, that there is a statistically significant increase in blackout frequency during peak hours of the day and during late summer and mid-winter months (although non-storm-related risk is nearly constant through the year) and there is strong statistical support for the previously observed power-law statistical relationship between blackout size and frequency.
