“…Due to the trend of automation, the operators' time horizon can be considered to be moving further away from real time, where they monitor the system and assess risks associated with real-time market operations, system peaks, and renewable energy ramps. This is because decisions are getting more numerous, complex, and inter-dependant under greater uncertainty [40], coordination, and reduced margins, as highlighted in Section II-D. Because of this, operators no longer have time to make the most optimal decisions in real time and thus must rely on both the automation of the system in real time and in the accuracy of forecasts and study tool optimization ahead of real time. As shown in Fig.…”

Today's power systems are seeing a paradigm shift under the energy transition, sparkled by the electrification of demand, digitalisation of systems, and an increasing share of decarbonated power generation. Most of these changes have a direct impact on their control centers, forcing them to handle weather-based energy resources, new interconnections with neighbouring transmission networks, more markets, active distribution networks, micro-grids, and greater amounts of available data. Unfortunately, these changes have translated during the past decade to small, incremental changes, mostly centered on hardware, software, and human factors. We assert that more transformative changes are needed, especially regarding humancentered design approaches, to enable control room operators to manage the future power system. This paper discusses the evolution of operators towards continuous operation planners, monitoring complex time horizons thanks to adequate real-time automation. Reviewing upcoming challenges as well as emerging technologies for power systems, we present our vision of a new evolutionary architecture for control centers, both at backend and frontend levels. We propose a unified hypervision scheme based on structured decision-making concepts, providing operators with proactive, collaborative, and effective decision support.
