PSOC--System Operation & Control Centers Subcommittee 

Scope
Provide a forum to identify, investigate, study, present and discuss the implications of reliability, technological and organizational change on System Operation and Control Centers. Investigate and study the control methods, strategies and reliability performance metrics used in electrical power systems to control and monitor quantities such as generation, real & reactive power flows, frequency, voltage and phase angles as they relate to System Operation and Control Centers.

The types of System Operation and Control Centers to be included are: traditional utility-based Energy Management Systems, ISO’s/RTO’s, Power Markets and Exchanges, TRANSCO’s, GENCO’s, DISCO’s, and Energy Trading Floors.

Items of particular concern are:

  • Coordination and operation of the interconnected bulk power transmission system under routine and emergency operating conditions
  • Development and dissemination of restoration planning information and training
  • Dispatch of generation within operating constraints
    Operation of markets for transmission services, ancillary services and energy
  • Technological developments and advancements in Control Center systems technology such as:
    • Use of wide-area measurements
    • Standardization
    • Situational awareness
  • Research and definition of adequate reliability performance metrics to effectively alert and alarm abnormal conditions.
  • Network Model Management and Situation Awareness and Visualization
  • The use of information and the integration of business process between the control center and the corporate enterprise, as well as business-to-business interactions.
  • Training of operations personnel
  • Economics.
  • Cyber security.

This will be accomplished through the sponsorship of surveys, panel sessions, technical papers, workshops and tutorials. Activities will be coordinated with other applicable organizations through liaisons and joint sponsorship of programs.
