Challenges: Turning Data into Opportunity & Value The world generated five Exabytes* of data between the dawn of civilization through 2003.. That amount of data is now created every two days. *1 Exabyte = 250 Million DVDs Erich Schmidt 2010 That rate is estimated to have Doubled since 2010 5
Challenges: Turning Data into Opportunity & Value Our industry is no Different From 1 Meter Read/mo to Hourly (720/mo) =71,900% increase in Data (((720-1)/1)*100%) No. Of PMU s installed has doubled in the past 12 months Generating Terabytes of data Transitioning from Implementation to Analysis Management (Optimization) of the Grid = Management of Data 6
Distribution Application Examples Turning Data into Value 7
Advanced Data Mining Algorithms Create Additional Value Improve GIS & Distr. Apps AMI Enabling Automatic Customer Phase ID Improve GIS - Automatically maintain accurate phase (A, B or C) association of every customer Benefit outage management, enable advanced volt/var optimization, improve distribution efficiency Clustering algorithm on voltage drop/rise data during capacitor bank operation uncovers customer connectivity with phase C 8
Distribution Application Examples Using AMI data to Auto-Generate Secondary Circuit Models Using AMI and Sensor Data for Distribution State Estimation Combine data from similar circuits and weather data to identify benefits Pattern Recognition - Using Feeder Monitors to Locate Faults and Estimate Cause Trends & Forecasting Detecting Stressed Assets 9
Transmission Application Examples Turning Data into Value 10
Example #1: Synchrophasor-based Situational Awareness and Decision Support Online Monitoring Key Interface Real-time Stability Assessment Risk Dominant oscillation mode Phase Clock on the mode Simplified model on the interface Time Phasor data Scenario N Scenario 2 Scenario 1 Look-Up Table Risk & Control Timing Interconnected Power System Control Action 11 Visualization at Control Room
Transmission Application Examples Combine Synchrophasor & Other Data for: Disturbance Location Identification Dynamic Model Development & Validation Synchrophasor-Based Early Warning of Inter-Area Oscillations Sensor Data - The Source of Asset Condition Information 180 Phase Difference (deg.) 90 1-234 14-23 0 40 80 120 160 200 240 Time (s) 12
Enabling Infrastructure Examples Enabling Infrastructure May Apply to both Transmission & Distribution 13
Enabling Technologies that are Emerging Enterprise architecture Visualization technology Database technology Standards for interoperability 14
