Power control system (PCS) sequencer
11941333 · 2024-03-26 · ·

Systems and methods for demonstrating power control system (PCS) operating sequences provide a model builder and a sequence builder. The PCS model builder allows a user to build a graphical model of a PCS using drag-and-drop objects representing PCS components, such as generators, circuit breakers, transfer switches, and the like. The PCS sequence builder allows the user to enter plain language commands that represent operations performed by the model objects. The model builder then graphically animates the model according to the plain language commands. Animation may include changing an image color, shape, configuration, position, orientation, or size for the model objects. This allows any user to graphically demonstrate how a PCS would work before resources are invested toward developing the PCS.

Transient stability assessment method for an electric power system

A transient stability assessment method for an electric power system is disclosed. Transient stability tags and steady-state data of the electric power system before a failure occurs are collected from transient stability simulation data. Data sets under different predetermined failures are obtained based on a statistical result of the transient stability tags and a maximum-minimum method. A similarity evaluation index between different predetermined failures is constructed based on a Jaccard distance and a Hausdorff distance. Different predetermined failures are clustered based on a clustering algorithm. A parameters-shared siamese neural network is trained for different predetermined failures in each cluster to obtain a multi-task siamese neural network for the transient stability assessment. Transient stability assessment results of the electric power system under all the predetermined failures are obtained based on the statistical result of the transient stability tags and the multi-task siamese neural network for the transient stability assessment.

Risk management system and method

Risk element information indicating risk elements is acquired. An asset capable of becoming a fault due to a risk element indicated in the risk element information, and a fault probability that the asset becomes the fault are specified based on static configuration information. A risk model in which the asset capable of becoming the fault and the fault probability are associated is generated in advance. In response to a designated input, an one asset to be evaluated is specified as an evaluation target asset, based on the designated input. A risk model related to the evaluation target asset is specified. A risk evaluation value being an index indicating a risk of the evaluation target asset is calculated based on the fault probability of the evaluation target asset and the static configuration information. The risk evaluation value of the evaluation target asset is associated with the asset of the risk model.
