Sparse: an intelligent alarm processor and operator assistant

The Sparse intelligent alarm processor helps operators at power system control centers to rapidly interpret enormous quantities of alarm messages during incidents (for example, short circuits in transmission lines). Operators have been using Sparse in the field, with positive results. Sparse's main goal is to help substation control center operators during incidents to rapidly interpret the enormous quantity of alarm messages that Scada systems can generate, and to minimize the amount of nonsupplied power.
