Québec Canada was not affected – Why ?<br />
The Reasons are very clear:<br />
• Québec´s major Interconnections to the affected Areas are DC-<br />
Links<br />
• These DC-Links are like a Firewall against Cascading Events<br />
• They split the System at the right Point on the right Time,<br />
whenever required<br />
• Therefore, Québec was “saved”<br />
• Furthermore, the DCs assisted the US-System Restoration by<br />
means of “<strong>Power</strong> Injection”<br />
