Evolving Power System Operation Solutions

This chapter covers the evolving and state of the art in power system operation solutions. These solutions, which cover different domains of transmission and distribution operation, have different levels of maturity and will be available for production deployment in different time frames. To provide context on the evolution maturity, the solutions presented in the chapter are categorized under the following three availability time frames: (i) readily available; (ii) mid term; and (iii) long term. Some of the power system operation solutions discussed in the chapter are: online transient stability, online voltage stability, total transfer capability (TTC) calculator, and transmission outage scheduling system.
