• Conclusion

Overview



• Reliability tools and market systems depend on the results produced by the SE

• Monitoring & Analyzing the quality and availability of every SE solution

• At CAISO, the SE solution is used for Real Time Power Flow and Contingency Analysis, Real Time Nodal Market, and for Voltage Stability Analysis.

• In the evaluation of SE readiness,

• Several metrics used by the Midwest ISO (MISO) and Southwest Power Pool (SPP) were reviewed

• Several new SE performance metrics of the SE solution at the CAISO have been identified

• The new SE performance metrics are to identify an unreasonable SE solution even if the solution is valid.

• Our hope is to set up a framework for all stake holders to work collectively in identifying a standard set of SE metrics to determine the quality of the SE solution

Detailed Model



STATE ESTIMATOR•State Estimation processes telemetered system power measurements to obtain an estimate of ‘State’ - the magnitudes and phase angles of bus voltages in the actual power systems.

• This calculation is based on the telemetered analog quantities (MW, MVAr, and KV) and the most current topology of the power system.

• Knowing the state of the power system, it calculates the MW, MVAr, and MVA flows through all the transmission lines and transformers and the MW and MVAr injections for all the loads and generation sources.

• These calculated voltage and power values provide useful operational information in cases when no telemetry is available. When valid telemetry does exist, the calculated quantities can be used to identify measurement errors.

EMS Relevant applications

REAL TIME LOAD FLOW & CONTINGENCY ANALYSIS •Real Time Load Flow provides the system operator with grid information like voltage and line flows for different short-term study conditions.•Real Time Contingency Analysis provides the system operator with the information on the ‘system state’ for different ‘what if’ conditions on the existing system. CAISO OUTAGE MODELING TOOL (COMT) •The COMT application is a Web-based tool which allows the users to search the CAISO Outage database and identify scheduled outages that impact the network topology. The tool allows the users to develop switching instructions (based on Network Model components) that need to be automatically applied to the network model at the appropriate time.

• In the Real-Time COMT is used to update the status of non-telemetered points and the status points with failed telemetry.



• VSA Real-Time Mode (VSA/RT)

• VSA Real-Time Look-Ahead Mode (VSA/LA)

• VSA On-line Study Mode (VSA/OS)

Voltage Stability Analysis (VSA) Tool



VSA Tool Input and Output



System Load Margin: the maximum total real power transferred from source to sink before the system hits the voltage collapse point under a proposed stress pattern. Interface flow: the power flowing through an interface flow gate. The Interface Margin is the portion of the total power transferred that flows through the Interface. If the interface is defined properly in relation to the stress pattern a sizable portion of total power transferred will flow through the defined interface

VSA-User Interface, RT/LA



Study mode VSA runs as a stand-alone process, which can be launched directly from the workstation as well as from the Viewer. Study mode VSA can retrieve an archival case from the VSA viewer or a Dispatcher Load Flow case directly from the data bridge.

Real Time Market • Real Time Pre Dispatch (RTPD)

• Executes every 15 minutes

• Real Time Interval Dispatch (RTID)• 5 Minutes dispatches

• RTPD & RTID• Utilizes the Full Network Model updated by the real time State Estimator solution to get the current operating conditions to initialize the power flow. State Estimator Solution resides in Enterprise Integration Bus to be used by RTPD and RTID.

State Estimation & Real Time Market



•In the RTM environment the static model is updated with dynamic data based upon real time operations that comes from the State Estimator application which is merged with commercial Market and Supplemental Market Data Maintenance (SMDM) system data for the various Market runs.

• The static market model from the GDB and the dynamic model of the power system are exported from the EMS to the RTM system.

• For the RTM analysis, the State Estimator solution along with Topology Information from the EMS is transmitted to the RTM System and used to initialize the Power Flow.

SE/ DLF Solution Quality Monitor



• Importance of the quality of the information provided by the SE to the various reliability and market tools

• At the California ISO, the SE solutions are required for (1) The Real Time Market and for (2) Security Applications such as Voltage Stability Analysis.
