Next Generation On-line Dynamic Security Assessment

This project addresses five elemental aspects of analysis for the enhanced performance of on-line dynamic security assessment. These five elemental components includes

  • A systematic process to determine the right-sized dynamic equivalent for the phenomenon to be analyzed
  • Employing risk based analysis to select multi-element contingencies
  • Increased processing efficiency in decision-tree training
  • Using efficient trajectory sensitivity methods to evaluate stability for changing system conditions
  • Efficient determination of the appropriate level of preventive and/or corrective control action to steer the system away from the boundary of insecurity
