Abstract
This paper presents the measures taken on the French power sytem to pr event voltage collapse. After a brief presentation of the voltage coll apse experienced in 1987 in the western part of France, the different time scales, from planning to real-time operation are examined. Planni ng methodology, role of generating sets, operating rules, tools and me ans of action for real-time operation are discussed. Finally, future t rends and research in the field of assessing system vulnerability and detecting critical states in real time are presented.
