Conclusions

8

Foundation to find stability-related operating limits in real time• Stable operations of grid can be achieved more reliably and efficiently

Key Takeaway

Benchmark dynamic contingency response in key areas• Establishes trust in TSAT performance

Demonstrate functionality in production system (study mode)• Contribute to reliable and efficient grid operations

• Can enhance operator training experience
