The constantly evolving nature of the grid is compelling the design process of Remedial Action Schemes (RAS) to keep up with the changes. This document proposes a flexible and computationally efficient approach to automatically determine RAS corrective actions that alleviate line overloading violations. Statistical and functional characteristics summarized from RAS implemented in real power systems are used to guide the design parameters. This report also leverages sensitivity-based techniques to determine corrective actions for specific contingencies quickly without repeated numerical simulations. Finally, future directions for implementing this approach for a fully automated, online RAS are discussed.
