The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), USA proposed to reform its regulations for the provision of primary frequency response, an essential service in ensuring the reliability of the North American Bulk-Power System. Reliable operation of the grid requires maintaining system frequency within predetermined boundaries above and below 60 Hertz. Primary frequency response involves the rapid, automatic, and autonomous actions of generating facilities to arrest and stabilize frequency deviations, and allows the interconnected grid to maintain frequency within acceptable boundaries following the sudden loss of generation or load. The magnitude and duration of a generating facility’s response to frequency deviations is generally determined by the settings of its governor or equivalent controls and other plant-level control systems.

Big Data Analytics for Power Transmissionand Distribution Utilities

As smart grid is bringing the new technologies and equipment into the practice of utility engineers, big data is also gaining importance in the power system. Big data gives ability to access, analyse, and manage vast volumes of data through the information architecture created for successful operations of Utilities. Operational efficiency and customer satisfaction are the key objectives where smart grid is enabling the new ways of services for utilities.

Gyan...

It is critical to leverage the vast data available to understand customer needs and electricity demand side to align that to energy generation and distribution to maximize operational efficiency. This will also enable utility to gain competitive advantage. This Paper provides an overview for the adoption of Big Data and analytics capabilities as part of the “next-generation” utility Digital Architecture that can meet the challenges of Utilities seeking to improve customer service, efficiencies and decision-making while increasing profitability.

• Smart Meter Data

• Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)

• Distribution Automation and Substation Automation Systems

• Enterprise IT Systems

• Outage Management Systems

• Distributed Energy Resources (DER)

• Energy Storage Systems

• Wide Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS)

• Electric Vehicles

• Social Media

• Power Exchange Market Data

Sources of data in Utility:

Benefits of Big data Analytics:

Improve Customer Friendliness

Improve Operational Efficiency

Revenue Protection and Growth

Risk or Threat Management

Big data and advanced analytics solutions enable Utilities to leverage data from the Smart Grid to improve customer service by providing better visibility into individual customer usage patterns. This information can drive customer-centric offerings on a one-to-one basis. Big data can improve several services for customers namely:

• Proactive demand response participation

• Transparency in the electricity consumption and billing

• Analysis of individual customer usage of power – to determine normal usage patterns

Predictive analytics can be used to improve power distribution reliability by anticipating demand and matching supply through appropriate power procurement portfolio input.

Maintenance failures can be significantly reduced with predictive analytics leading to reduced outages, better proactive maintenance of assets, and reduced costs. Analysing customer sentiment from sources like social media can provide insight into customer behaviour providing another input for load forecasting.

Renewables and distributed generation lower predictability of load in the grid; overload of transformers may cause significant wear-out. Analytics would assist the utilities in monitoring transformer data and predict following aspects:

• Transformer overload overview in geospatial context

• Transformer load comparison and investigation of load peaks

• Examining weekly patterns and next-day forecasting

• Weather correlation of load

• Loss of life calculation and visualization

Analytics can determine unusual usage patterns which can be detected from metering and billing data. Also, leverage usage patterns to formulate demand based pricing to improve revenue and demand-supply management. This will result in having a better understanding of elasticity of demand and tariff analysis.

Finding unauthorized access or usage can save utilities from suffering the consequences of malicious activities. Predictive analytics can generate prescriptive actions for such cyber security threats. Cyber security system protects the assets of utility from malwares and disasters. Analytics gives the action plan to protect the utility assets.

Conclusion:

Over the next 20 years, the growth in the percentage terms of data flowing through grid communication networks will far exceed the growth of electricity flowing through the grid. While managing these overwhelming amount of data in terms of volume variety, velocity and veracity would pose new challenges for data management, this needs to be transformed into an opportunity to create valuable insights for strategic decisions. This calls for a new paradigm of visualisation and analysis of data which entails adoption of new generation of intelligence and analytical tools.
