Abstract

Summary form only given as follows. The paper reports on the results of a tailored collaboration project sponsored by BC Hydro and EPRI to review the state-of-the-art in EMS architectures addressing the necessary attributes of a modem EMS with respect to scalability, database and user interface openness, flexibility and conformance to industry standards, as well as to provide a migration path for the existing BC Hydro´s EMS. This review was intended to assist BC Hydro in identifying functionality and standard requirements of future EMS procurements and a migration path for a future BC Hydro´s application program environment. The proposed migration path was prototyped to verify its prudence and applicability in providing an open architecture environment for EMS applications. The BC Hydro on-line voltage stability analysis (OLVSA) application developed by BC Hydro and Powertech Labs was chosen and integrated into the prototype.
