Applications
- Power system automation, as in smart grids
- Load shedding and other load control techniques such as demand response mechanisms to manage a power system. (i.e. Directing power where it is needed in real-time)
- Increase the reliability of the power grid by detecting faults early, allowing for isolation of operative system, and the prevention of power outages.
- Increase power quality by precise analysis and automated correction of sources of system degradation.
- Wide area measurement and control, in very wide area super grids, regional transmission networks, and local distribution grids.
