A key element in the requirements study of an EMS is determining the value of not only the present system, but also of several feasible alternatives in terms of present worth dollars. The term value represents the difference between a system's benefits (or the loss of those benefits) and its cost. When the values of various alternatives are compared over time with that of the existing system, the most cost-effective point for system replacement can be accurately defined along with the best alternative.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126849880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neither a reestimation nor residual sensitivity matrix is needed in the identification process, which increases the computational speed greatly. Digital tests have been done to compare the RMEEI method with other conventional BD identification method in identification performance and computational speed. The real-time operation experience of the RMEEI method in energy management system (EMS) of the North East China power system control center is given.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132727970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequent to this event, a new application program was written on PSE&G's control center energy management system (EMS) to monitor the transformers at Salem and other locations in its bulk power system for the effect of GIC flows. This monitor has successfully and accurately detected subsequent SMD-caused GIC effects in the transformers in both the Salem and Hope Creek generating stations. In turn, these measurements are used to alert the control center and generating station personnel to the hazard so that corrective action may be initiated.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"247 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114629066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transformer status is monitored to decide if the transformer is disconnected or is in normal operating condition. When the transformer is energized, a two-state Kalman filter model monitors the transformer during normal operating conditions. When a transient is detected, a three-state Kalman filter model is initiated to obtain the best estimate of the phasor quantities in the shortest period of time. These phasors are used to decide if a fault in the transformer exists. If the transformer was disconnected and switched on, the current waveform would include inrush current or a combination of inrush and fault currents. In this case, a five-state Kalman filter model is initiated to obtain the best estimates of the DC offset, fundamental, and second harmonic phasors. The current transformer ratios and tap values are included in the algorithm to obtain an adaptive percentage differential characteristic. This adaptive scheme was tested on data obtained in the laboratory and proved to be highly accurate and fast.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"7 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114105413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interactive graphics provides a tool to define restoration scenarios, view the restoration process, and display the optimization and simulation results. By introducing the concept of optimal restoration scenario, the process of selecting the control variables can be formulated as a mathematical problem which can be solved by nonlinear programming. This approach removes most of the guesswork found in conventional restoration planning and provides a systematic and optimal solution in the sense of minimizing the variations from normal, and the number of control variable adjustments from stage to stage. The optimization reduces the duration of the restoration procedure and guarantees the security of all variables during the restoration process by respecting all steady-state operating constraints.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128328969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A numerically based observability analysis procedure is suggested for handling such cases; the new technique is an extension of previously published work on numerical observability analysis. The technique is fully illustrated by small scale examples taken from a real-life system where difficulties with discardable measurements have been observed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114228671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
