Abstract :
This paper presents a comprehensive security monitoring and warning system implemented at North China Grid, which has significantly improved the operator´s situation awareness to operate a very large power grid by applying innovative visualization technology to power system analytical applications. It is concluded that visualization is not just about building better graphical displays; instead, visualization is becoming a driving force for emerging power system applications and future system integration.
