3. = To Act Now in Anticipation of Future Problems
Modern Power Grid is one of the most complex
engineering in existence.
In each second, millions of components are working.
Grid parameters are instantaneously changing.
The grid management challenge is to ensure that the
operating conditions stays within safe limit.

4. Definition: A temporary electrical power failure or cut.
 On August 14, 2003 in North America.
 On 30th & 31st July 2012 in India.
 India’s massive blackout is the largest one in the world
history.
 Around 9% of the world’s population was affected.

6.  Power Grid Today:
Generation – Transmission – Distribution - Customer Load
 The chain needs to be :
 Reliable
 Secure
 resilient

7.  Grid Management Today
 Developed in 1960s-Digital computers
 Real time management of transmission
system.
 Receives measurement from grid every 2-4s
& presented to grid operator.
 Not accurate.

10.  Electricity market decisions may be unfamiliar
to the grid operator.
 Renewable & distributed generation resources
are uncontrollable to the grid operator.
 Demand response & customer engagement
programs may cause sudden spikes in demand.
 Power electronic load will have different load
characteristics.
 Aging and retiring of experienced work force.

12. HARD TRENDS
• Will certainly
happen.
• Difficult to
influence
SOFT TRENDS
• They can be
influenced.

13. A. High Performance Computers
Moore’s Law : “Computer processing power doubles every 18 months”
 Processor prices have been declining.
 So large no. of high performance computers are employed at
control centres.
B. Distributed Parallel Processors
-> To speed up the solution process of
 Contingency Analysis
 Dynamic Stability Analysis
-> Can process more scenarios at same time.

14. C. Synchrophasor Measurement
“Synchronized phasors (synchrophasors) provide a real-time
measurement of electrical quantities from across the power
system.”
 Increasingly deployed worldwide.
 Captures upto 60 values at each second with precise time
tag.
 Replaces traditional way of measuring values every 2-4s.
[SCADA: Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition]
 Similar to High Definition Microscopic picture.

15. D. Synchrophasor Analytics
 New class of grid analytics for control room.
 Today transmission control centres deploys PMU.
 Identifies :
 Poorly damped oscillations.
 Disturbance locations.
 Islanding conditions.

16. E. Smart Meters
 Sends energy usage to the
supplier wirelessly.
 Enable two-way
communication between the
meter and the central system.
 Can gather data for remote
reporting.
 More accurate bills.
 Better understanding of
energy usage.
