Visual analytics for power grid contingency analysis

IEEE Comput Graph Appl. 2014 Jan-Feb;34(1):42-51. doi: 10.1109/MCG.2014.17.

Abstract

Contingency analysis employs different measures to model scenarios, analyze them, and then derive the best response to any threats. A proposed visual-analytics pipeline for power grid management can transform approximately 100 million contingency scenarios to a manageable size and form. Grid operators can examine individual scenarios and devise preventive or mitigation strategies in a timely manner. Power grid engineers have applied the pipeline to a Western Electricity Coordinating Council power grid model.
