Power Systems Management Processes
|
|
|
Efficient and effective power system control and management requires having in place the appropriate tools, systems, staff and processes. As power systems become more complex and information becomes increasingly regarded as proprietary and confidential,
power system operators
are operating in an unclear
and unpredictable environment.
Appropriate processes
Process design and implementation, such as the way operators collect, process and interpret the available information, determines the quality of power system management. Without the appropriate processes, operators are forced to cope with inadequate information, data errors or missing information that exist in any system. This can result in operator decisions and actions with increasing social costs or the loss of supply.
Power system management processes consist of:- planning under uncertainty: what actions and decisions can be made based on the available incomplete information? Which tools are needed to adequately assess the power system condition?
- operation, control and optimization under normal conditions: how to maximize the transmission and generation service, at minimum social costs?
- alert status management: which part of the power system is most vulnerable? How can this vulnerability be decreased? What are the consequences, size, duration and severity of outages?
- outage control: how can complete black-outs be prevented? How can the cascading collapse of the system be stopped?
- power system restoration: what is the best approach to restore service to the customers? Which live wires should be used?
KEMA has extensive knowledge in all fields of power system management:- systems (SCADA, Energy Management Systems, Distribution Management Systems)
- design and implementation of processes (tasks, responsibilities, tools, information)
- education (in-house training, scenario development).
We design and implement control systems that include:- interaction with local control (substations)
- communication with other control centers
- assessment of disturbance severity
- system restoration (both in case of a local outage and in brown-outs and black-outs)
- interaction and communication with other key entities such as government, emergency services, generators, suppliers, consumers and railway companies.
