Overview
The digitalization of grid operation and control occurred in the 1960s with the hard wired measurement, communication and control being replaced by digital measurements and control signals being communicated on microwave channels. Thes SCADA-AGC systems were further augmented with analytical applications to develop the complete EMS in the 70s. These EMS have evolved into very large systems because of the continuing development of computation and communications. With the cost reductions of digitalization, these grid operation and control technologies are now being applied to the distribution systems and operator training.
Speaker Bio
