Smart Dispatch Market Drivers

Society’s growing dependency on electricity

− Looming risks of major system disturbances
− Focus on reliable demand-supply balance & grid security
Global energy & environmental movement
− Increasing presence of DER - Distributed Energy Resources
(e.g. wind, DR, etc)
− Operational challenges: DER performance uncertainties
Experiences from deregulated system operations
− Established foundation for integrating demand-supply balance
with grid security constraints (e.g. LMP).
− Identified emerging deficiencies in Dispatch Instructions

 Unrelenting complexity in
business & technical
decision process
 Smart devices/resources with
distributed intelligence
 Coordinated decision making
 Why Synchrophasors?
- Improve security
- Indicator of stress on a power - Increase transfer
system - System analysis
- Captures dynamic behaviour - Manage renewables

The DMS system is deployed and operational throughout FPL.

Control centers have been consolidated. Operator training is
ongoing for network optimization functions (FISR & VVC).
Large Network Model Challenges

− Extremely large models compared to the typical

transmission system – 25 million objects in the FPL case.
− Visualization of the Network Data Model – it is not
reasonable to build/maintain displays specifically for DMS
– leverage the GIS
− The model changes everyday – updates must be
supported which do not impact users, no restarts or
failovers
− There are several data sources from which the online
network model database is created
