ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS) and DISTRIBUTION AUTOMATION (DA) Oct 1995-May 1999
Client - SCADA Systems Division, NELCO.
Energy management system for electrical power networks is being developed to calculate in real time environment the state of a complex electrical network. The software is based on a real time SCADA system, it uses the real time and historical data of the electrical network to calculate the load flows, state estimate, bad data suppression, contingency analysis, fault analysis, economic dispatch, generation dispatch and control, and optimal power flow of the electrical network. Apart from these EMS applications several DA applications such as Fault isolation, service restoration, feeder reconfiguration, integrated volt/var control, load shedding and load rescheduling have been developed. All these modules make extensive use of matrix algebra using sparse matrix techniques and also logical techniques. Several new mathematical techniques were developed to enhance the capabilities of the algorithms and improve the speed of the calculations.
