Project: WECC Model Validation
Objectives:
1. Assist reliability councils, system planners and transmission operators with in the development and use of advanced tools for the validation and refinement of planning models.
2. Facilitate the development and use of planning procedures that identify and accommodate modeling uncertainties which have not or cannot be eliminated.
Page 3
Deliverables: (established prior to August 14 Blackout)
1. Direct assistance to WECC technical groups in developing methods, technology, and practices to compare and calibrate planning models against observed power system behavior.
2. Direct assistance to WECC technical groups resolving model validation issues that are major impediments to reliability management in the western interconnection.
3. A white paper, based upon experience in the western interconnection, that describes generic issues and solutions in model validation for reliability management in large power systems.

Progress in FY03: (Examples only)
1. DSI Toolbox interfaces for advanced post-processing of data from General Electric and PTI stability programs.
2. Hybrid simulation tool for playback of measured data into planning model simulations [1] . This tool is being incorporated into the General Electric PSLF/PSDS commercial dynamic simulation package.
3. New PSLF codes for load modeling.
4. Use of all above tools in WECC effort to assess and adjust planning models for generation, load, and overall system performance.
5. Liaison with WECC measurements community to install and operate addition monitors at key WECC facilities (esp. generation & load).

Validation of System Performance & Modeling
Measurement process:
Determine actual system performance from tests or disturbances. This is an ongoing effort.
Calibration process:
Compare model against system. May require a wide range of time/frequency tools plus expertise in the mathematics of dynamic systems.
Adjust model to improve comparison. Presently an art that requires expert knowledge of planning practices. (Some automation may be feasible. )
Uncertainty Modeling:
Over time, determine & characterize errors in predictive modeling. This too is an ongoing effort.

Behavior we cannot model we
probably don’t understand!
BUT
We cannot validate models for
behavior we do not measure.
Model Validation: Caveat #1
Page 9
Model refinement, based upon
direct analysis of power system
behavior, should be an ongoing
process within power system
planning.

Background on WAMS Outreach:The Wide Area Measurements (WAMS) Effort
• WAMS was initiated as a Federal project by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to reinforce power system reliability during the transition to a deregulated electricity market.
• Builds upon DOE information technology & infrastructure pioneered by the Federal utilities with support by DOE laboratories and others.
• Very strong ties to assets management visions such as the Intelligent Energy System (IES) and the EPRI Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) program.
• Now receives critical DOE support via CERTS. Selected aspects of the WAMS effort are supported by stakeholders.

Note 1. Measured P are similar for both G3 and G4, and P3_sim matches the measured record fairly well. However, the simulated P are different, even though the models and parameters are the same.
Note 2. Measured Q are very different for G3 and G4. This indicates their excitation models and/or parameters should NOT be same. The simulated Q match each other but not the measurements.

Information Value of Major Control Systems
Page 30
A fully realistic model for wide area oscillation dynamics must, for all important modes, replicate and predict actual system behavior in the following respects:
a) Mode parameters (eigenvalues). Usually characterized in terms of frequency and damping.
b) Mode shape (eigenvectors). Usually characterized by the relative phasing of generator swings, for each mode. As used here, mode shape also includes the relative strengths of generator swings.
c) Interaction paths. The lines, buses, and controllers through which generators exchange energy during oscillatory behavior.
d) Response to control. Modification of oscillatory behavior due to control action, including changes to network parameters and load characteristics.
