Reliability Monitoring Tools

Projects

Current
Automatic Reliability Reports (ARR) PI: Martinez, Carlos PI: Domínguez-García, Alejandro PI: Sauer, Pete The FERC-NERC ARR tool was researched, prototyped and developed for FERC for automatically broadcast daily, monthly and yearly summary, or on-demand, reports on interconnections historical load-generation resource adequacy and control performance. ARR...
Frequency Monitoring and Analysis (FMA) Tool PI: Martinez, Carlos The NERC-FMA real-time tool has the capability for automatically collect interconnections 1-second frequency phasor data together with 10-second and 1-minute interconnections SCADA ACE data to calculate, estimate statistics, display, and report the...

Completed
Candidate Frequency Events Monthly Reports Tool PI: Martinez, Carlos The NERC-CFER tool was researched, prototyped and developed for NERC and is part of its Frequency Response standard process. For each interconnection, using phasor and SCADA data, identifies and delivers every month candidate critical frequency events...
Frequency Response Analysis Tool PI: Etingov, Pavel This tool uses PMU measurements recorded during system disturbances to automate the calculation of power system frequency response. It has been developed to facilitate standardized analysis and reporting of frequency response following the requirements...
Geographic, Multi-View Visualizations: Research and Prototypes PI: Martinez, Carlos Developing and improving geographic visualization prototypes being in the CERTS portfolio of wide-area monitoring tools for visualizing key reliability performance metrics. These visualization prototypes identified and defined the architecture and...
Grid Performance Metrics (GPM) Real-Time Monitoring Tool PI: Martinez, Carlos The MISO-GPM tool was research, prototype and is being field tested at MISO. GPM estimates Grid’s voltage, stability, and thermal performance metrics using model-less algorithms and MISO grid phasor data within MISO phasor infrastructure. Grid...
Intelligent Alarms Tool: Disturbance Alarm, Response, and Analysis (DARA) PI: Martinez, Carlos The NERC-IA real-time tool is an automatic, integrated process to identify abnormal interconnections load-generation unbalances, and broadcast intelligent alarm descriptions together, possible root-causes, and recommend preventive actions to...
Wide-Area Real-Time Resources Adequacy Monitoring System (ACE Frequency) PI: Martinez, Carlos The NERC-RA real-time tool enables NERC Reliability Coordinators and Operations Management to monitor and track interconnections load-generations secondary control performance and compliance with related reliability standards. It also allows NERC staff...
