A workshop was sponsored by the US DOE, November 19--21, 1991 to define the R&D needs and their priority and timing for real-time control and operation of electric power systems. The four technical areas which were covered during the technical sessions and served as the topics for the working groups included: advanced power system technologies; advanced measurement, communication, and information systems; new modeling, analysis, and computation techniques; and intelligent and adaptive power system control and operations. Of the thirteen topical white papers that were presented at the workshop, three papers on advanced power system technologies were by Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Electrotek Concepts, Inc., and Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Three papers on advanced measurements, communication, and information systems were presented by Reshet, Inc., Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), and EPRI. Four papers on new modeling, analysis, and computation were presented by Energy & Control Consultants, Advanced SCADA Consulting Engineers, The University Alabama and Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratories with BPA. The last three papers on intelligent and adaptive power system control and operations were presented by Mississippi State University, University of Maine, and Clemson University. A follow up meeting on December 10, 1991 consolidated and organized the thirty-nine areas identified at the workshop into six major areas that include: (1) optimal transmission system operation, (2) optimal distribution system operation, (3) advanced power system technologies,(4) on-line sensing systems, (5) local control, and (6) power system engineering research needs. All of these papers and meetings provide input to a multi-year program plan to be prepared by ORNL and DOE.
