“…In this part, we will propose a framework of dispatcher training evaluation simulation system (DTESS), which could be used as a tool for dispatcher training simulation. Different from conventional dispatcher training simulator (DTS) [39], DTESS is completely based on simulation and operators' cognition process is modeled with IDAC method. Once fully developed, it can simulate dispatchers' response to various conditions in detail.…”

Along with the improvement of electrical equipment reliability, people's unsafe behaviors and human errors have become one of main sources of risks in power systems. However, there is no comprehensive study on human factors and human reliability analysis in power systems. In allusion to this situation, this paper attempts to analyze the impact of human factors on power system reliability. First, this paper introduces current situation of human factors in power systems and the latest research progress in this field. Several analysis methods are proposed according to specified situations, and these methods are verified by some power system practical cases. On this base, this paper illustrates how human factors affect power system operation reliability from 2 typical aspects: imperfect maintenance caused by human errors, and impact of human factors on emergency dispatch operation and power system cascading failure. Finally, based on information decision and action in crew (IDAC), a novel dispatcher training evaluation simulation system (DTESS) is established, which can incorporate all influencing factors. Once fully developed, DTESS can be used to simulate dispatchers' response when encountering an initial event, and improve power system dispatching reliability.

“…The servlet reads the input data and performs the power system computations, and the same time uses JDBC to communicate with a database to obtain the power system data; the dynamic response is then generated and given back to the client for display, depending on the user inputs. With the advent of the above web-based power system simulator, load flow simulation, short circuit fault analysis and harmonic penetration analysis have been carried out successfully [10]. This simulator has a serious drawback of not having common format for interchanging power system data between tiers.…”

The main objective of this paper is to develop an efficient data compression model for online power system applications such as load flow studies, state estimation, contingency analysis etc and to calculate the round trip-time taken for sending the compressed data in client/ server architecture. Martin Burtscher algorithm is used for data compression since most of the power system data is expressed in per unit representation which is in floating point format. Many research works have been reported for representing and solving power system problems in distributed environments which include RMI, Component based, SOA and Grid computing. As the size of the power system is growing large and large due to increase in demand and the interconnections between large power systems may vary time to time due to addition of new generating units and due to geographic conditions, it becomes difficult to estimate the current operating states of the real time electric power system network and data communications between the network becomes difficult. The proposed method of power system data compression finds faster rate of data communications where the data is required for realtime analysis in a distributed environment. 

“…Since the power system is very special, those general training, which will impact the power supply reliability, could not be conducted in the real system. Constructing a simulation system provides the dispatchers a very good environment to practise their operations [2]. The normal running status and the fault status are simulated in the system.…”

Using the dispatcher training system(DTS) to train the dispatchers is an effective way to improve their operations. This paper presents the structure and important modules of DTS for substation. The 3D technology is introduced to make the simulation more comprehensive and vivid, so, the system gets more complicated, the data exchange mechanism is introduced in detail. Besides the main module, some other function modules are also introduced to make the system more flexible and convenient. This system can be well used in the other substation of the same type. The design idea can also be used for other training system for reference.
