A method and system is provided for optimizing the performance of a power generation and distribution system that monitors the performance of a power system, detects disturbances and calculates statistical information, uses historical performance data and economic factors to analyze and control the production of power.

Automatic generation control of a power distribution system

A method and system for dispatching available generation resources to supply a given load in a control area. Generating units are each assigned a temporal trajectory of output power over consecutive time intervals. The allocation of available resources are assigned so as to minimize costs associated with meeting changing loads.

Dynamic economic dispatch for the management of a power distribution system

Certain exemplary embodiments provide a method comprising: for an electrical power system comprising a plurality of committed electrical power generating units: for each of the committed electrical power generating units, obtaining an optimal power output temporal trajectory, the optimal power output temporal trajectory constrained by a ramping limit of the committed electrical power generating unit; obtaining an optimal power reserve temporal trajectory for each of the committed electrical power generating units; and assigning each of the optimal power output temporal trajectories to the respective electrical power generating units so that, over a predetermined consecutive set of time intervals, an integrated cost of system power output is minimized and a system reserve requirement is met.

Method of dynamic economic dispatch

Certain exemplary embodiments provide a method comprising: detecting a NERC disturbance in an electrical power system; determining a first corrective action to return the electrical power system to a pre-disturbance level within a predetermined disturbance recovery time; determining a second corrective action to cause the electrical power system to meet one or more predefined NERC CPS compliance target values; and providing a corrective control signal to the electrical power system.

System for control performance standards

A method and system is provided for optimizing the performance of a power generation and distribution system that monitors the performance of a power system, detects disturbances and calculates statistical information, uses historical performance data and economic factors to analyze and control the production of power. Load demands are predicted by utilizing very short term load forecasts that are based on historical load data, demand patterns and short term load forecasts. Generating units are each assigned a temporal trajectory of output power over consecutive time intervals. The allocation of available resources is assigned so as to minimize costs associated with meeting changing loads.
