Electric energy is generated in response to demands from consumers to keep balance between load and generation. The processes of generation, transmission, distribution and consumption are instantaneous: the moment load is switched on energy must be produce to meet demand. A delay of the generation response to demand will cause imbalance in the in the power system and will be reflected as an error in system frequency Any failure in the processes mentioned can also cause an imbalance in the power system and will be reflected as a system frequency deviation.

Economic Operation
(Generation Control)
The objective of economic operation is to ensure that the production cost of electricity is a minimum. The optimization is done in stages, usually an annual optimization (long range), followed by a monthly or biweekly optimization period (midterm), and finally a daily optimization period with hourly intervals (short term).
Annual Hydro-Thermal Coordination
Optimize the electric energy consumption from hydro-electric power plants
Unit Commitment
Bi-weekly or monthly schedule of available thermal generating plants
Economic Dispatch
Hourly schedule of committed generating plants over a twenty four hour period, the result in minimum production cost

Major Problem
Generation Load Imbalance If generation is less than load -> frequency drops If generation is greater than load -> frequency rises If frequency goes too far from 60 Hz the generators are taken off the line. Often happens if you isolate part of the power system.

Operating Margin
Frequency Regulating Reserve. Refers to a generating unit that assists in frequency control by providing automatic primary and/or secondary frequency response. Also called load following reserve. Contingency Reserve. Generating capacity that is intended to take care of the loss of the largest synchronized generating unit or the power import from a single grid interconnection, whichever is larger. Contingency reserve includes Spinning Reserve and Back-up Reserve.

Demand Control
The reduction in demand for the control of the frequency when the Grid is in the Emergency State. This includes:
Automatic Load Dropping; Manual Load Dropping; Customer Demand Management; and Voluntary Load Curtailment
89
System Islanding
An island grid is created when a generating plant or a group of generating plants is isolated from the rest of the Grid but is capable of sustaining the supply of electricity to the customers within the island grid. Whenever an island grid exists, the System Operator shall undertake the resynchronization of the island grid with the rest of the Grid.

System Blackout
Partial System Blackout. The condition when a part of the Grid is isolated from the rest of the Grid and all generation in the isolated part of the Grid has shut down. Total System Blackout. The condition all generation in the Grid has ceased and the entire system has shut down.
BROWNOUT?
Competency Training and Certification
Black Start
The process of recovery from a total system blackout using a generating unit with the capability to start and synchronize with the system without an external power supply. The process includes: Creation of Island Grids;
PGC 6.2.2.3
The Security and Reliability of the Grid shall be based on the Single Outage Contingency criterion. This criterion specifies that the Grid shall continue to operate in the NORMAL STATE following the loss of one Generating Unit, transmission line, or transformer.
PGC 6.2.1.1 The Grid shall be considered to be in the NORMAL State when:
The Operating margin is sufficient; The Grid frequency is within the limits of 59.4 and 60.6 Hz, as specified in Section 3.2.2; The voltages at all Connection Points are within the limits of 0.95 and 1.05 of the nominal value, as specified in Section 3.2.3;
Reliability
Reliability of a power system refers to the probability of its satisfactory operation over the long run. It denotes the ability to supply adequate electric service on a nearly continuous basis to supply adequate electric service on a nearly continuous basis, with few interruptions over an extended time period.
-IEEE Paper on Terms and Definitions 2004
Reliability
Reliability has two (2) components: 1. Security the ability of the electric power system to withstand sudden disturbances such as electric short circuits or unanticipated loss of system elements.
2. Adequacy the ability of the electric power system to supply the aggregate electric demand and energy requirements of their customers at all times, taking into account scheduled and reasonably expected unscheduled outage of system elements.
Reliability
Any consequence of a credible disturbance that requires a limit.
