A model of power system control center for the intelligent grid in Korea

The requirements of transforming the centralized and one-way flow of control and information by energy service providers to the decentralized and two-way flow structure enabling plug-and-play are rapidly increasing. The importance of reliable, high-quality electrical power continues to grow as society enters into a new era of economics driven by digitally-based technologies. Enabling the digital economy of the future will require an intelligent power grid based on information infrastructure. In this paper, a system-level reference model of power system control center for the intelligent grid is described. It will provide the guideline on how to implement the intelligent grid suitable for Korea´s power transmission and distribution system.
