Advanced utility data management and analytics for improved operation situational awareness of EPU operations

The CIGRE Joint Working Group No. D2/C2.41 is a joint effort between the study committees D2 and C2. It is intended to address the pressing need to provide system operators and operation engineers with better tools for assessing system conditions and to support them on making critical decisions. Such need is imposed by the increasing complexity and interconnectivity of modern electric grids, in addition to the highly stringent reliability, economic, and environmental constraints. This Technical Brochure (TB) surveys and examines current practices, industry trends, and new research on the use of various data sources and analytics tools to enhance situational awareness of system operators, as well as on the data-integration and -management technologies to facilitate effective implementation…
