Real-Time Power Electric System Modeling, Assessment and Reliability Prediction

Given a large and complex plant to operate, a real-time understanding of the networks and their situational reliability is important to operational decision support. This paper introduces using a unified model to help operators to minimize real-time problems, and also provide a mimic-real time play-back mechanism for system planners on how to upgrade the grid. Real-time simulation architecture is described to identify and predict where problems may occur, how serious they may be, and what is the possible root cause. Multi-views of visualization are plotted for the system area in order to obtain good situational awareness of the scenario.
