In example embodiments, there is provided a dynamic dispatcher simulator for an electrical power system. The dynamic dispatcher simulator can be operable to receive an input from a user identity during a run time, wherein the input represents a disturbance event indicative of a simulated disturbance to an electrical power system. Based on the input, a signal can be transmitted to a transient simulation engine component. The transient simulation engine component can output simulated phasor measurement unit data representative of the disturbance event to a wide area monitoring system that facilitates a display of alarms in response to the receipt of the simulated phasor measurement unit data. The dynamic dispatcher training simulator can also receive another input from the user during the run time, the second input being representative of a simulated condition related to the electrical power system.

Energy flow in a power grid system (e.g., an electrical energy distribution system) is managed. In an example embodiment, a system provides for generating monitoring data for an electrical energy distribution system based on power-flow data for the electrical energy distribution system and topology data for the electrical energy distribution system. The power-flow data is indicative of voltage values that are repeatedly obtained from the electrical energy distribution system. The topology data is indicative of a topology for the electrical energy distribution system. The system also provides for identifying, based on the monitoring data, a change in a voltage angle associated with a transmission line in the electrical energy distribution system. Furthermore, the system provides for generating a notification for a graphical user interface in response to a determination that the change in the voltage angle for the transmission line satisfies a defined criterion.

The technology is generally directed towards real-time power grid island detection and monitoring, including obtaining and outputting information about the cause and location of the islanding event, island size, island composition, phasor measurement units in each island, and the overall island frequency. The technology provides for suggested island resynchronization actions such as one or more circuit breakers that can be closed by the power grid system operators to resynchronize an island with the main island/system. An application program may output the information and also assist the operators during the resynchronization process by providing real time information about the voltage difference and frequency difference across each proposed circuit breaker in the suggested restoration point. Real-time tracking of the island resynchronization actions is also described.
