Proceedings: Dynamic security assessment and voltage stability -- two coordinated workshops. Volume 1, Dynamic security assessment workshop

Many utilities today are routinely stability limited, forcing them to incur significant cost when managing energy and transmission resources. On-line dynamic security assessment (DSA) will allow less conservative operating limits based on real-time system conditions. At an EPRI workshop on DSA, coordinated with a second EPRI workshop on voltage stability (see volume 2), researchers concluded that on-line DSA is feasible in the next three years using a combination of faster processors, improved simulation methods, artificial intelligence, and direct stability methods. Workshop participants identified DSA user requirements for system operators, operations engineers, and management personnel. Participants also identified key functions required for on-line DSA and defined an approach for developing this capability.
