Restoring power faster: The growing role of emergency restoration systems in modern grids
Emergency Restoration Systems, often referred to as ERS, are gaining importance as a critical part of grid management. These systems are designed to restore transmission lines rapidly after failures caused by natural disasters, technical faults, or external damage.
