Project Objectives:
-
Integration
of existing sensory information
from sensors (e.g. temperature and pressure, substation security
perimeter
status, substation battery voltage, neutral - ground voltage, liquid
levels)
into the EMS and alarm processing
software
tools.
- Investigation of unconventional
sensors and
sensory information (e.g., satellite graphic information, mechanical
position
and inclinometer-type sensors, static wire impedance, conduit and cable
trough
conductivity.
- Development of alarm processing techniques
and
algorithms that utilize a large number of sensory information sources
including
unconventional sensory information. The
alarm processing techniques may use innovative mathematical techniques.
- The use of a very large number
of signals for
enhanced power system operation and operational decision making in
order to
capture new information and to enhance the accuracy, quality, and
redundancy of
the collected information. This
includes, for example, analysis of data fusion, size and complexity of
data,
efficient power usage for sensors, optimal location of sensors with
respect to
chosen metrics, and availability of communication channels to transmit
sensor
data.
- A dedicated task for the specification of
the next
generation of SCADA systems.
