Improving the situation awareness of DSOS in major disturbances by visualizing the state of mobile networks

Abstract

The interdependency of distribution and mobile networks causes issues in the recovery process of major disturbances as the mobile network is necessary for some distribution automation devices and for repair group communication. Mobile networks go down quickly after a power outage complicating the recovery process. In this paper a situation awareness (SA) system demonstration with a visualized state of both distribution and mobile networks is presented. The aim of the system is to improve the recovery times and reduce the outage costs by improving the mobile networks SA of DSOs and other actors during outages.
