This research paper presents a method that uses measurements of voltages angles, as provided by phasor measurement units (PMU), to accurately detect the sudden disconnection of a generation unit from a power grid. Results in this research paper have demonstrated, in a practical fashion, that a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network (NN) can be appropriately trained to detect and identify the sudden disconnection of a generation unit in a multi-synchronous generation unit power system. Synthetic time-series bus voltage angles considering low inertia scenarios in the IEEE 39 bus system were used to train the MLP NN. The training process is speeded up by using four GPUs hardware. The simulations results have confirmed the successful detection and identification of the generator outage.@en
