High level requirements of fast simulation and modelling suite of tools for future “self-healing” distribution power system

FSM system is envisioned as a suite of tools specifically for grid operations, planning, and management. This software open platform, based on open-communication standards acceptance, should provide major enhancements by enabling key attributes of the Self-Healing Grid: • Accurate real-time state estimation • Predictive analysis by faster than real-time simulation • Cost-effective and safe real-time optimization of the operations. The target could be the emergence of a platform of help-decision tools that allows a grid operator to optimize the management of the grid in real time as well as predict the grid behavior up to 4 hours in the future based upon historical and real time data. The planning gets closer and closer to the operation. The D-FSM objective is to design the requirements of distribution functions optimizing the real time operation of the grid and ensure compatibility with the transmission requirements.
