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.
