A Web-based Dispatcher Information System for Electricity Transmission Grid Monitoring and Analysis

Adequate monitoring of the electricity transmission system through widespread installation of data acquisition modules is crucial for the effective monitoring and control of the electricity transmission grid. In this paper, we present the architecture and implementation details of a ubiquitous Web-based dispatcher information system deployed on the Turkish electricity transmission grid. By means of the described dispatcher system, the transmission system operator is able to dynamically monitor the transmission grid and hence to take the proper short-term and long-term operational decisions. Through the analysis facilities of the system, plausible outputs can be obtained such as load forecasts and timely information on the grid security. After the system description, we provide sample analysis results obtained through the system in addition to pointers to future research prospects.
