Abstract
The novelty behind this research is to develop enhanced models for real-time power system monitoring in a platform-independent and distributed platform. Distributed models for power system applications have been implemented using Remote Method Invocation (RMI), Common object Request Broker Architecture and. NET remoting technologies. The interoperability among the heterogeneous power system clients in a distributed platform has been achieved through XMLization of power system data which provides meaningful solution to the legacy issues associated with power systems. A RMI-based model for real-time power system monitoring in a distributed platform had been implemented and discussed in detail. A component model for real-time power system monitoring has also been proposed and implemented to increase the reusability and scalability of the system. A location transparent model has been developed using Common object Request Broker Architecture with RMI-Internet Inter-Orb Protocol for load flow monitoring and the idea is extended to solve real-time economic load dispatch and dynamic security monitoring. The detailed monitoring on performance of the proposed models has been done with load flow monitoring, dynamic security monitoring and economic load dispatch problems. A. NET remoting architectural model has been developed for real-time economic load dispatch in a distributed platform. This research paper explores various issues in deploying power system applications in a distributed platform. It will serve the purpose of stimulating interest among power engineers and also will be extremely useful for electric power utilities.
