	Power outage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A power outage is the loss of the electricity supply to an area.
		The reasons for a power failure can for instance be a defect in a power station, damage to a power line or other part of the distribution system, a short circuit, or the overloading of electricity mains.
		Power failures are particularly damaging for hospitals, since many life-critical medical devices and tasks require power.

		This weakening was compounded by a maintenance outage of the transformer that connects a static VAR compensator in Portland to the main 500 kV grid.
		The Report also states that "The Minnesota Power dynamic system monitors which have accurate frequency transducers and GPS time synchronization were invaluable in analyzing this disturbance and identifying the correct sequence of events in many instances," even though recording was piecemeal and overall monitor coverage for the system was quite sparse.
		Power system problems are reaching levels of technical complexity where appropriately skilled utility staff is thinly spread, diminishing, and unlikely to be replaced.

		On August 14, 2003, there was a wide-area power failure in the northeast of the USA as well as in parts of Canada, affecting 50 million people: see 2003 U.S.-Canada flout.
		On September 23, 2003, a power failure affected 4 or 5 million people in Denmark and southern Sweden.
		The fact that the four most recent flouts occurred in different parts of the world in rapid succession has drawn the attention of governments to power grids' vulnerability to technical failures, and to the possibility of terrorist attacks against them.

	Power Outages and Tree Health
		Last winter, New England experienced some of its most costly and prolonged power outages on record, following storms that were not unusually severe, although many people associated the storms' severity with the duration and scope of the power outages.
		If it has not already been done, I think a quick assessment should be made of how extensive and costly the power outages in New England were last winter and what the causes of the outages were, tabulated by approximate percentages.
		A rough correlation should then be made between the meteorological severity of the weather and the severity of the outages to see if historical ratios of damage to storm intensity were exceeded.
