Methods of Coping with Wind Uncertainty
• Short-Term– Better wind forecasting– Carry more operating and spinning
reserve to handle up and down ramps of wind output
– Rapid coordination with demand response and energy storage
• Long-Term– Build more energy storage, e.g.,
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES)
– Controllable demand response– Holistic planning of transmission,
generation and demand• Virtual Service Aggregator

Alarm Management
Alarm Management
• Need to diagnose root-cause of alarm messages
• Need to link diagnosis to operator procedure
• Current EMS alarm management uses technologies of the 1970s
• Need to integrate all sources of data and messages, through a hierarchical approach

Why Accurate Load and Generator Models Are Needed?
• Inadequacy of current model data– Inaccurate voltage recovery
simulation after disturbances– Uncertainty about generator
reactive power capabilities• Implications
– Uncertainty about the stability margin of the power grid
– Unaware of real risk of cascading blackouts or voltage collapse, or
– Under utilization of available stability margin for greater economic benefits

Effective System Restoration Can Reduce The Societal Impact Of Widespread Blackouts
•Operators need online decision support for restoration strategies
•How can automation be used to improve system restoration?

Prevention of Cascading Outages – Safety Nets
• Application of SynchroPhasor Measurements for Controlled Separation, Load Shedding and Generation Rejection
– Controlled separation is an effective last resort to mitigate severe cascading failures
– Voltage Instability Load Shedding
– Online risk monitoring of potential cascading outages
