Expanded requirements: Real Time System Stability is what System Operations Wanted

Currently the System Operator has a very good handle of thermal constraints, however he has less of an understanding of System Stability during off peak maintenance work

Requirement to Perform System Stability during N-1 and N-2 contingencies Request for easy interpretation of stability analysis

Extended requirements:

Support ESO with Stability runs:• Real time Voltage Stability runs using the PSS/O output (RAW file) • Day ahead Stability runs using the PSS/O output (RAW file)• System Stability assessment and support ESO clearance during major

construction projects Extend the CIM to include Stability Data:

– Include Stability Data which will allow CIM compliant application to run Stability without using external machine data files

Model On Demand:– Enable use the current system configuration as base to maintain future planning

system configurations Use the historical data to evaluate:

• Event reconstruction• Load forecasting• Loss studies and system optimization to reduce real and reactive losses

Some of Future Applications

Load Flow Optimization for Operators: – Perform Operation Optimization (OPF) in real time– Expected better management of loading/overloads and system losses

Load Forecasting for Operation:– Short-term load forecast

• Hours and minutes in the future• One and two days in the future

– Feeders, Circuits, Transformers Real time Boundaries of Operation:

– Use POM software (Physical and Operational Margins) for real time evaluation and visualization of margins and boundary of operation

Voltage Profile on demand:– On selected distribution circuits – Near-real-time data and system models, on-demand calculation

Asset condition/reliability impact on system modeling and analysis – Real-time updates for system models

Integration of Distribution, Sub transmission, and Transmission Models Probabilistic Assessment studies for T and D

– Transmission System: use EPRI PRA software– Distribution System: use CymeDist with additional Reliability Module and enhancements for

probabilistic analysis Exchange of Load Flows with neighboring utilities (XML File)
