Minitrack Introduction

This minitrack focuses on topics related to the monitoring and control of complex systems such as power systems to ensure that disturbances have a minimal impact on performance. Specific topics include: Steady-State and Dynamic Security Assessment; Available Transfer Capability (ATC); State Estimation; Security-Constrained Optimal Power Flow; Sensor Applications; Large-Scale Real- Time Control; and related technologies. The sessions in this minitrack are typically organized around three current research areas in electric power systems monitoring and control. This year´s themes include sensor networks and data integration, advanced real- time measurements, and EMS applications.
