Abstract
Energy Management Systems (EMS) have been deployed for decades at utility control centers to manage the electricity grid in real-time. Today these EMS capabilities are poised to be enhanced quite dramatically with growth of synchrophasor PMU measurements. Solutions to decentralize management of the grid are also being introduced – these include Distribution Management Systems, Substation Automation and advances in grid control devices. These new solutions will help us manage the uncertainties and challenges of the future smart grid. This presentation will describe:
• The history and evolution of the EMS from its digital genesis in the 1970’s.
• The primary functions of a modern EMS
• Emerging new industry drivers & emerging new technology trends
• Impact of growth of microgrids, renewables and distributed generation on the EMS
• Growth of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and synchrophasor measurements worldwide
• Wide area monitoring (WAMS) and wide area control (WAMPAC) solutions
• Modern advanced fast-acting grid control devices
• Concluding thoughts on the challenges and opportunities to manage the future grid
