Initial Study on the Predictability of Real Power on the Grid based on PMU Data
Operations on the electric power grid provide highly reliable power to the end users. These operations involve hundreds of human operators and automated control schemes. However, the operations process can often take several minutes to complete. During these several minutes, the operations are often evaluated on a past state of the power system. Proper prediction methods could change this to make the operations evaluate the state of the power grid minutes in advance. Such information allows proactive, rather than reactive, actions on the power system and aids in improving the efficiency and reliability of the power grid as a whole. A successful demonstration of this prediction framework is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing such predicted states in grid operations.
