This paper reviews the high performance technical computing (HPTC) applications in Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator INC (Midwest ISO or MISO) various operation functions. The paper briefly describes the day ahead market, real time market and FTR market. Its ancillary service market design is presented as an example of the application of the high performance technical computing. The...
The smart grid concept is rapidly evolving in the direction of practical implementations able to bring smart grid advantages into practice. Evolution in legacy equipment and infrastructures is not sufficient to accomplish the smart grid goals as it does not consider the needs of the players operating in a complex environment which is dynamic and competitive in nature. Artificial intelligence based...
Multiobjective optimization has been applied to the problem of optimal energy management in power distribution systems. Future distribution systems with increased deployment of distributed energy storage devices and distributed energy resources are being designed under the aegis of a number of sectors of the power engineering community. This includes the National Science Foundation supported Future...
Synchronized measurements technology plays a vital role in the deployment of the Smart Grid at transmission level by revolutionizing the way power systems are operated and controlled. Utilizing very precise time reference enabled by the GPS system allows for measurement synchronization and ultimately optimizes the management of power network behavior and performance. This paper presents SRP experience...
The California Independent System Operator Corporation (CAISO) has embarked in a profound redesign of its electricity market. With its market launched on April 1st, 2009, the CAISO introduced new financial products to improve the efficiency of the markets and reliability of the system operation. The introduction of new products, compounded with the recent financial turmoil, has posed challenges for...
The Reliability Coordination Office (RCO) of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) became operational in January 2009 in an on-going effort to monitor the reliable operations of the Western Interconnection in accordance with North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Reliability Standards. The West-wide System Model (WSM) is the nucleus of WECC's Energy Management System...
The paper points out that while many efforts are under way to making distribution systems smart, very little serious attention has been given to rethinking the enhancements of transmission systems. Future electric energy systems are likely to require a qualitatively different management of the existing transmission system in order to enable their rapidly changing needs and objectives. The paper discusses...
This paper discusses the authors' experience of developing an active network management system for use by two different distribution network operators (DNOs) in the UK with differing network management requirements. The paper describes the fundamental building blocks of AuRA-NMS (autonomous regional active network management system) and how their development was driven by the requirements of the partner...
EPRI sponsored a project to extend the CIM standard to support the exchange of dynamic power system models needed to perform system simulation studies for system dynamic assessment and for planning purposes. Current dynamic model exchanges require customized import/export software to convert from one proprietary format to another for each pair of vendor products, thus inhibiting free exchange between...
Bangladesh has had problems with electricity distribution for many years. The distribution system in Bangladesh is facing tremendous pressure from industrial and residential users to maintain a regular supply. The Bangladesh Power Distribution Board (BPDB) manages the situation using the load shading technique. Load shedding is now impractical as living standards and electric load characteristics...
Accuracy of the network parameters has significant impact on the performance of almost all energy management system applications. Network model is built based on these parameters which are stored in the company's data base and are not typically inspected unless they are flagged by the user or a software package. Hence, errors associated with network parameters are not easily and commonly detected...
