Major power system disturbances and outages have a significant economic and social impact and the security of supply becomes a more and more important issue. Hence outage times should be as short as possible. Smart grid technologies such as self-healing networks can help in reducing the outage times after a disturbance. In this paper the principle and implementation of a self-healing grid for cable networks is discussed. Both technical and organizational issues will be addresses.
