PTTI Applications in Power Utilities

Abstract

Electric power systems are like human being: they cannot be stopped in order for us to carry out an examination of how they work. All analyses are therefore made on the "living fabric" as it were. In addition, power systems have a fast-moving "life style": they can fall "sick" (disturbance or even instability) within milliseconds and can "lose a limb" (local power failure) or "die" (general black- out" in a couple of seconds. In analyzing this kind of behavior, time is crucial. The operating speed of electric grids is such that events follow on each other's heels and system analysts are faced with the arduous task of distinguishing between occurrences that are very close to each other in time.
