Modeling RTO/ISO power systems for real time operations and planning – codeshoppy
Summary form only given. The authors present their experiences in building the Alliance Regional Transmission Organization (ARTO) computerized management system. The presentation covers the following aspects: ARTO role and composition; ARTO innovative deployment model as application service provider on the Web; ARTO infrastructure; ARTO power system functions and market model; managing implementation of ARTO systems; and lessons learned. read more
The size of electricity markets and systems is expected to grow as a result of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) ruling on “Mega RTOs.” The formation of Mega
RTOs requires planning and analysis to operate larger systems in real time for market operators and participants in the market, than is the case
today. With the evolution of competitive electricity markets, the pricing of access to
network services for electricity transmission will become increasingly important. To
determine how physical system inherent interaction as well as exogenous factors will
affect transmission planning, models valid for different applications will have to be developed. RTO Management System

Accurate models are needed for planners to periodically perform analyses and assessment of the transmission system to ensure operational reliability, adequacy and security Tools used for these analyses will have to be scalable and flexible to accommodate new types of models for larger systems. In the future, rapid answers are important for a constantly changing market. Long extended and detailed studies will be replaced by faster more timely studies.
