This project developed and demonstrated an integrated system for monitoring power plant dynamic performance and model validation. This system has the following capabilities:
– Events are detected and classified, notifications are sent through the BPA e-mail, e-mail includes event report. Data is extracted automatically
– Updates PPMV with State Estimator Models, upgraded to new API with GE PSLF that does not require use of external EPCLs
– Automates model acceptance process similarly to PPMV process
– Performs routine benchmarking of power plant performance against performance metrics such as Frequency Response Obligation and voltage control
– Deploys small signal oscillation detection application, log events of sustained oscillations, and provides data extraction capabilities
