A ubiquitous Web-based dispatcher information system for effective monitoring and analysis of the electricity transmission grid

Effective electricity grid management and planning necessitates widespread installation of convenient data acquisition modules to obtain the relevant grid data in a timely manner. In this paper, we describe a ubiquitous Web-based dispatcher information system deployed on the Turkish electricity transmission grid. This large-scale system is utilized by the transmission system operator to effectively monitor the transmission grid and to analyze and summarize the gathered data automatically, in order to take proper short-term and long-term operational decisions. The system has the additional facilities to produce load forecasts and track long-term investment plans on the electricity grid. The architecture of the implemented system is described in details together with the demonstration of sample significant analysis and forecast results obtained from the system.
