Grid Control Room Operations Software

Grid Control Room Operations Software 150 150 ieeeeduweek

Currently, operators in grid control rooms rely on various software systems (EMS and DMS) along

with isolated data sources, in conjunction with operational manuals and their previous

experiences, to determine prompt and effective actions aimed at reducing the effects of severe

weather occurrences (such as hurricanes, storms, wildfires, and heat waves) and evolving weather

trends that influence renewable energy generation. As the grid’s complexity escalates, there is a

pressing need for a solution that facilitates easier data retrieval and enhances user engagement for

grid analysis and operations. Additionally, it is crucial to provide adequate preparation and training

for both existing and future control room operators to navigate this complexity more effectively.
