Abstract

Effective power system operation requires power system engineers and operators to analyze vast amounts of information. In systems containing thousands of buses, a key challenge is to present this data in a form such that the user can assess the state of the system in an intuitive and quick manner.This is particularly true when trying to analyze relationships between actual network power flows, the scheduled power flows, and the capacity of the transmission system. With restructuring and the move towards having a single entity, such as an independent system operator or pool, operate a much larger system, this need has become more acute.This paper presents several power system visualization techniques to help in this task. These techniques include animation of power system flow values, contouring of bus and transmission line flow values, data aggregation techniques and virtual reality data visualization.

New Methods for the Visualization of Electric Power System Information
INFOVIS '00: Proceedings of the IEEE Symposium on Information Vizualization 2000

One area in need of new research in information visualization is the operation and analysis of large-scale electric power systems. In analyzing power systems, one is usually confronted with a large amount of multivariate data. With systems containing ...
System-level max power (SYMPO): a systematic approach for escalating system-level power consumption using synthetic benchmarks
PACT '10: Proceedings of the 19th international conference on Parallel architectures and compilation techniques

To effectively design a computer system for the worst case power consumption scenario, system architects often use hand-crafted maximum power consuming benchmarks at the assembly language level. These stressmarks, also called power viruses, are very ...
Power System Visualisation at Southern African Power Pool
ACRID'17: Proceedings of the EAI International Conference on Research, Innovation and Development for Africa

Effective monitoring and control of power system elements enhance safety and reliability of power supply. Interconnection of power systems in the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) resulted in optimisation of energy resources. However, interconnection ...
