Access to reliable electricity supply is at the heart of development of societies’. The economic growth of countries, industries and public sectors rely on the dependence of uninterrupted power supply; however, the reality for many countries around the world is the growing complexity within power systems and the risk of constant blackouts.

The complexity of power systems is characterized as growing load demand, distributed generation, renewable energies, smart grid technologies and new transmission equipment; due to these changes power systems operate closer to stability limits and in order to correctly assess a power system’s stability, the operator needs to know the stability margin and have assistance during the decision-making process when it comes to finding the most sufficient solution in case of stability problems.

The Solution:
SIGUARD® solutions from Siemens supports the system operator in this decision-making process. The basic idea is to perform an automatic, intelligent security assessment.

SIGUARD® DSA:

Dynamic security assessment (DSA) is part of SIGUARD® solutions. It is a model-based dynamic stability assessment tool for online control room use and offline operational planning purposes.  Its main focus is to help system operators expand their situational awareness in the control room, while supporting them in making critical decisions during stability problems.
