METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND SYSTEM PROVIDING REAL-TIME POWER GRID HYPOTHESIS TESTING AND CONTINGENCY PLANNING

摘要

A method is disclosed to simulate operation of a grid structure. The method includes specifying a type of simulation to be performed and at least one initial condition with a user interface of a device such as a mobile device, where the grid structure comprises at least one of a power generation grid and a power distribution grid. The method further includes transmitting the specified type of simulation and the at least one initial condition from the user device to a computing platform; receiving from the computing platform a result of the simulation at the user device; and visualizing the result of the simulation with the user interface. The type of simulation can be an N-k contingency analysis simulation, where k is equal to zero, 1 or greater than 1.

1. A method to simulate operation of a grid structure, comprising:
specifying a type of simulation to be performed and at least one initial condition with a user interface of a user device; transmitting the specified type of simulation and the at least one initial condition from the user device to a computing platform; receiving from the computing platform a result of the simulation at the user device, where the simulation is based on at least one of a steady state model of the grid structure and a dynamical model of the grid structure; and visualizing the result of the simulation with the user interface, where a visual representation of the result shows a result of the simulation of at least one scenario, and where visualizing comprises displaying a multi-dimensional representation comprised of indicators, where each indicator corresponds to at least one simulation result, and further comprising upon a selection of one of the indicators visualizing a result of the simulation of the corresponding simulation result or results.
