Future Trends and Directions in Dynamic Security Assessment

"This panel will focus on Dynamic Security Assessment, which is presently one of the main tools to maintain secure operation of electric power systems. In particular, on-line DSA is essential to give advance warning in real time of the proximity to insecure operating conditions. Challenges faced in on-line DSA include running of stability programs in real time, utilizing real-time phasor measurements locally, or in a wide area, and processing of big amounts of data to extract security information. The first presenters will address problems and solutions for simulation-based on-line DSA, including the challenges of parallel processing and new computational algorithms, as well as specific applications. The next ones will focus on measurement and data driven techniques for on-line DSA.?
