Real Time Dynamics Monitoring System (RTDMS): Phasor Applications for the Co...Power System Operation
The electric power grid in the US has evolved
from a vertically integrated system to a mixture of
regulated and deregulated competitive market system.
Grid oversight is transitioning from local utilities to an
assortment of transmission companies, regional
Independent System Operators (ISOs) and Regional
Transmission Organizations (RTOs). Regulatory and
economic pressures have caused new transmission
construction to lag the growth in demand. These forces
have increased pressure on electricity markets and
caused operators to maximize the utilization of the
system. The result is an operating environment where
operators are faced with quick changing and previously
unseen power flow patterns and operational conditions
with limited information available for real-time
operation and decision-making. Furthermore, the aging
The TeleArc solution provides optimal call routing to maximize earnings by gaining the highest margin on each call while maintaining quality. It automates routing, reduces costs, strengthens quality, and provides analytics to inform decisions. Key capabilities include real-time routing, rate management, data management, planning optimized routes, and reporting on performance indicators. The solution helps operators respond quickly to market changes and implement global strategies to increase profits.
The Advanced Distribution Management System – ADMS – brings together distribution management system (DMS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and outage management system (OMS) technologies , along with control room applications, on one, secure platform with a single user interface. With this comprehensive mission critical solution, the electric utility can monitor, analyze and control the distribution network to improve the level and quality of service.
At its core is the network model representing the as-operated state and based on the as-built state defined by the geographic information system (GIS). A load flow algorithm responds quickly to data sourced from throughout the network to analyze the balanced, unbalanced and dynamically changing network in real time. Users across the network – operators, dispatchers, management, planning engineers and others – have consistent visualization of model results in geographic, schematic and single-line diagram views. State estimation validates viewed data and estimates non-telemetered points to achieve a complete network representation.
With this accurate network model and a portfolio of robust functionalities, the utility is empowered with continuous, real-time analysis of the operational state of the network that enables self-healing capabilities. Demand can be managed through reduction of technical losses; by forecasting near-term load and applying volt/VAR control for peak shaving; and by securely integrating and managing distributed energy resources, including energy storage, to flatten the daily load curve. These and other options enabled by ADMS are key to managing demand in the face of increasing energy usage, surging energy costs and network infrastructure instability due to aging.
The ADMS represents the evolution of control room technology that will help utilities mobilize to meet increasing consumer demand and environmental obligations and reap many of the benefits all stakeholders expect from their smart grid investments.

The document discusses key performance indicators (KPIs) used to evaluate quality of service (QoS) in GSM networks. It focuses on analyzing the performance of a real GSM radio frequency network based on four major KPIs: call setup success rate, call drop rate, handover success rate, and traffic channel congestion rate. Counters in the base station controller are used to derive the KPIs, which provide a tool to measure overall network performance and QoS. The document examines these KPIs in depth and discusses issues that impact them as well as methods used for analysis and improvement.
The document discusses traffic reference periods, which are time periods used for traffic observations related to quality control and network dimensioning. Normal and high load periods are defined to monitor grade of service. For circuit-switched networks, the normal load is the 4th highest daily peak period in a month, and the high load is the 2nd highest. Reference periods are also defined for different types of networks and services, such as public switched telephone networks, signaling system no. 7, and broadband ISDN. Measurement methods include continuous, scheduled, manual, and automatic collection of data.
The important objectives of Energy Management System (EMS) are to monitor control and load forecasting in an economical way. With the advancement of computing technology the above tasks have become easier. Digital control provide superior control due to the implementation of various algorithm.

SCADA at the core of power systems monitoring and control
Power systems monitoring requires increasing amounts of information coming from multiples sources, manually or automatically, and at different
points in time, each with their own resolution and quality.
SCADA collects all this information in real time to:
• Process in terms of validity, usability, and accuracy and store them for future analysis.
• Combine into a flexible, simple or complex calculation.
• Provide operators and other control systems with flags and alarms, which are valuable for action and control.
• Feed advanced applications such as network security and generation dispatch.

• Feed advanced applications such as network security and generation dispatch.
Within data parameters, phasor measurement units generate a huge flow of points due to high scanning resolution (1ms). SCADA can now
integrate phasor data.
SCADA: the critical block for EMS
SCADA is the core of any monitoring and control system.
This is where all information captured from the
field via manual reading, automated control systems
in substations and power plants, and from other control
centers is processed in real time before being
made available for further analysis and action by operators.
Without SCADA running, EMS and operators
have reduced network vision and cannot operate at
full capacity. SCADA reliability is built-in by design
with one or multiple redundancy levels to ensure
100% availability.
Incorporating WAMS technology for
increased awareness and network
flexibility
Traditionally, SCADA receives data points scanned at
1s or higher resolution depending on communication
bandwidth and local scanning capabilities such as RTU,
a substation automation system, or a power plant
control system. The latest WAMS technology, under
deployment for the last 10 years, has reached a level
of reliability and performance enabling it to manage a
large number of phasor measurement units (PMUs) data
scanned at 1ms from thousands of PMUs implemented
across the network. Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC)
and PhasorProcessor are also now part of the SCADA
solutions GE offers to its customers.
Coupling existing EMS applications with a Phasor
application inside an Advanced Energy Management
System (AEMS) unlocks additional network flexibility
in terms of blackout prevention and network power
capacity required as intermittent renewable generation
grows.
Cloud service analysis using round-robin algorithm for qualityof-service awar...IJECEIAES
Round-robin (RR) is a process approach to sharing resources that requires each user to get a turn using them in an agreed order in cloud computing. It is suited for time-sharing systems since it automatically reduces the problem of priority inversion, which are low-priority tasks delayed. The time quantum is limited, and only a one-time quantum process is allowed in round-robin scheduling. The objective of this research is to improve the functionality of the current RR method for scheduling actions in the cloud by lowering the average waiting, turnaround, and response time. CloudAnalyst tool was used to enhance the RR technique by changing the parameter value in optimizing the high accuracy and low cost. The result presents the achieved overall min and max response times are 36.69 and 650.30 ms for running 300 min RR. The cost for the virtual machines (VMs) is identified from $0.5 to $3. The longer the time used, the higher the cost of the data transfer. This research is significant in improving communication and the quality of relationships within groups.

of Transmission System Operators (TSOs) working in an open electricity market environment.
Business drivers for Damas design were to cover all key mar ket-related processes of system
and ancillary services, transmission services, and nomination management, as well as the evaluation
and financial settlement. From the time perspective, Damas supports all phases of the TSO‘s business,
from the predictions, long-term operational planning and procurement, through the day-ahead
and intra-day operation, to the ex-post evaluation, settlement, and invoicing.
The following technological requirements were the main design drivers for the Damas platform: high
flexibility, extensive user configuration options, high reliability and availability, transparency and security,
and standardized interfaces to external environment.

3. Transmissions Services
This subsystem of Damas provides support for all activi-
ties concerning the cross-border transmission of electric-
ity and congestion management, namely capacity alloca-
tion and nomination.
Settlement Services
This subsystem of Damas covers all processes and
activities connected with the responsibility of the TSO
to physically and financially evaluate and settle the
market transactions.
The main functional domains covered are:
> Receiving and processing of bilateral schedules
between Balance Responsible Par ties (BRPs) using
ETSO ESS Standard.
> Checking the scheduled volumes against the available
financial security (risk management),
> Aggregation of metered values and balancing energy
data,
> Calculation of total system imbalance, imbalance
volumes and prices for every BRP.
The main functional domains of Transmissions Services
are:
> Long-term, daily and intra-day allocation of transmis-
sion capacities in both explicit and implicit auctions
> Administration of capacity rights
> Secondary market (capacity transfers and resales)
> Nomination management including international match-
ing (on the control area, block, and zone levels)
> Special nominations (SO–SO trades, compensations,
etc.)
> Capacity curtailment and real-time reduction
> Risk management and financial security
> Automatic data exchange with market participants and
authorities (TSOs, ENTSO-E)
Damas is fully compatible with established industrial
standards (EU legislation, ENTSO-E guidelines and hand-
books, ETSO ESS and ECAN data standards). Legal Besides, this subsystem provides the settlement

4. Damas Platform
In order to efficiently meet the requirements of the
business, we have designed and developed Damas
platform as an enterprise solution based on many
years of experience in building information systems
for the power industr y, especially for TSOs, and
responding to the ever-increasing demand for highly
flexible, vendor-independent solutions.
Damas platform includes, among others, the follow-
ing components:
> Damas Time Series Engine
> Damas Computation Scripting Engine
> Damas MS Office Integration
> Damas Visual Workflow Engine
> Damas View Configurator
> Damas Messaging Engine
> Damas Data Bridge

in typical Damas implementations.
5. Damas MS Office Integration
Damas MS Office Integration allows the user to
export and import data into MS Office applications.
The user can easily edit the data offline e. g. in MS
Excel environment and upload them back later.
Damas Visual Workflow Engine
Damas V isual Workflow Engine allows to define
process diagrams using the system configuration
tools. The process diagram is later tied to a particular
business component, as a tool ensuring possibly
fully automatic operation of the entire system.
The user is notified of the state of each component
at the lowest level or can monitor the system state
based on the high-level process indicators.
Process diagrams are used to control all operations
which should be executed automatically at speci-
fied times, such as data transfers, calculations, etc.
Process management is also used to define user
access permissions to data, which may differ accord-
ing to the particular business process states. Damas Messaging Engine
Most of the users usually want to be informed
