Abstract :
Energy management systems (EMS) are highly specialized real-time digital computer based control systems that were introduced in the late sixties to assist system operators in managing the power grid in a reliable and efficient way. The emergence of energy markets in the nineties led to the deployment of energy market applications, often tightly coupled with EMS applications.
