Critical issues affecting power system control center databases

Abstract

This paper summarizes several recent presentations and discussions made before the IEEE Control Center Database Task Force These presentations have garnered a high level of interest among task force membersThe intent of the paper is to disseminate these findings to a wider audience, thereby focusing industry attention on critical issues affecting control center databasesThe short note paper addresses new and evolving requirements placed on control center databases Among the issues addressed are data access, portability of applications, the need to safeguard and protect mission-critical information, and the role data objects may play in future data bases 0885-8950/96/$05.00 0 1995 IEEE

A conceptual study of systems architecture for decentralised topology inference of distribution networks

“…Thirdly, current, power system topology is generated from status of breaker positions together with a static model of the grid [1]. This approach makes the resulting topology prone to errors [2]. To reduce the reliance on error prone static models, it would be advantageous to design a mechanism that can determine topologies with a minimum prior knowledge of the system.…”
