Conference Agenda

This panel will present final results of the Norwegian-Swedish research project NEWEPS - Nordic Early Warning Early Prevention System. The research conducted in the NEWEPS project are intended to provide the Transmission System Operators (TSOs) with increased insights into functional and non-functional requirements on Wide-Area-Monitoring-Protection-and-Control (WAMS / WAMPAC) systems. The main focus of the work has been on increased situational awareness for operators, development of novel Energy Monitoring System (EMS) solutions and evaluation of visualization techniques. Towards the end of the NEWEPS project, a road map will be created with the intention to support the development and future implementation of WAMS and WAMPAC systems at the Swedish and Norwegian TSOs. The main messages of this panel relate to the lessons learned, main conclusions and results, and the proposed way towards implementation. At the panel, the following issues to be addressed: • Background and needs of a Wide-Area monitoring control and protection system • Research and development of Voltage stability indicators • Research and development of identification and classification of Natural and Forced oscillations • Research and development of Wide-Area-Control concepts • Research and demonstration of Advanced vizualisation concepts • Research and demonstration of a Platform for monitoring applications and operator interaction
