“…In contrast to the traditional approach of representing the system state using numerical fields on oneline diagram using a static map board, different technologies are currently used to make the system representation more dynamic and improve the system observability. Such technologies include color contours, animated arrows and dynamically sized pie charts [72][73][74][75][76] for representing highly stressed areas of the system, highlighting thermal overloads, over-and under-voltages, etc. These visualization techniques have been integrated into different software packages [77], and have been effectively applied in various control centers [73].…”

“…There are a number of forms such as Maps, flow animation, graphical alarms, area-tie diagrams, contour plots, 3-D displays, GreenGrid etc. that are used to represent power system data [24]- [26]. Data that had been generated from the models represents PMU data needs to be visually represented, so that the SGO can see and act on the changes in the grid.…”

This paper presents a density based clustering (DBSCAN) technique to visualize and analyze the smart-grid data. The technique will aid in detecting bad-data, various fault types, deviation on frequency, voltage or current values for better situational awareness. Synchrophasors (or a PMU) is a sensor placed on a transmission line that tracks voltage, current, phase and frequency of the line. To improve situational awareness of the smart grid monitoring in real-time, the utility must monitor the phasor data measurement delivered by the sensors. Time-stamped synchronized measurements offer tremendous benefit for pre and post-event analysis. The paper uses data from openPDC framework to aid system operators in carrying various predictive analytics, decisions.

“…Traditionally, an overview of the system has been provided as numerical fields on one-line diagram using a static map board, with only the dynamic data shown using different colors [31]. Different technologies have been developed in the last decade to make the system representation more dynamic, improve system observability, and thus enhance wide area situation awareness.…”

“…Different technologies have been developed in the last decade to make the system representation more dynamic, improve system observability, and thus enhance wide area situation awareness. Examples of these technologies include color contours, animated arrows and dynamically sized pie charts [31][32][33][34]. These visualization techniques have been fully integrated into different software packages, such as PowerWorld Simulator [35], and have been effectively applied in the control centers of Commonwealth Edison in Lombard, Illinois and City Water & Power in Springfield, Illinois [36].…”

Due to the growing size and complexity of modern grids, power system operators have to deal with several challenges to maintain the reliability of the electrical supply. Developing and maintaining a sufficient situation awareness is a key element in preserving this reliability. However, because numerous factors govern its formation in a power system control center, this can be a very complicated process. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the impact of insufficient situation awareness on power systems operational reliability and provide an overview of best practices in supporting human operators. It first identifies the main sources of inadequate situation awareness in a control room, and then presents its impact on operational decision-making. Several measures for dealing with the problems related to situation awareness are discussed and their applicability to power systems is illustrated.
