Power System Protection and Resilient Metrics
During a real-time power system event, a system operator need to conservatively reduce the operating limits while changing system conditions are analyzed. The time it takes to develop new operating limits could affect millions of transmission system users especially if this event is classified by NERC as a Category D type event (extreme events resulting in the loss of two or more bulk electric system elements) . Controls for the future grid must be able to perform real-time analysis, identify new reliability risks, and set new SOLs (System Operating Limit) for real-time operations. In this paper we are inducing “Resilience Metrics” requirements that describe how systems operate at an acceptable level of normalcy despite disturbances or threats. We consider the interdependencies inherent in critical infrastructure systems and discuss some resilience metrics that can be distributed in current supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) to provide a level of state awareness. This level of awareness provides knowledge that can be used to characterize and reduce the risk of cascading events. A “resilience power system agent” is proposed that provides attributes to measure and perform this metrics.
