A lot of utilities use Synergi for analysis and just to further extend the abilities of their data in their assets in the field, but it can be very difficult to map GIS data to Synergi electric data. What often happens is this data gets stale in Synergi so the effort that it takes to effectively export this data and import it into Synergi can be difficult, and as such a lot of times the data used in Synergi is really old and out of date and it's way too hard for utlities to be able to effectively constantly move new data into Synergi electric. We've effectively set up to make it easier for a company to be able to export their data and import it into Synergi electric as often as they need without messing with the configurations or having to get down into the grind details after the first time. Essentially, there are lot of differences between GIS and Synergi electric data which is a lot of the complications in software in the first place. In GIS, for a given geometric network, you have the concept of edges and junctions.
In order to improve the resilience of power systems, utilities are interested in developing the capability to form microgrids when abnormal situations occur. In some cases, the microgrid is used to minimize the adverse impacts on the most critical loads, such as hospitals, government offices, and police stations. The costs associated with failure to supply critical loads are significant. Therefore, the ability to create a microgrid largely using existing generation assets with only the addition of control devices can result in improved reliability, greater level of services, and in significant savings during major events. For instance, a significant portion of the power supply to a major city in the northwest region of North America comes through a single 500kV line. If the line goes down, under some circumstances the city grid could go down. The main objective of this thesis is to perform a study establishing the feasibility of forming a microgrid to supply high priority loads in the city, while disconnecting from the main grid and using hydroelectric and solar generation available in the area. These transitions will occur while establishing and maintaining stability of the microgrid. Modeling and analysis of the entire microgrid network is done in Powerworld simulation software that proved the possibility of forming the microgrid. The model development and validation are described along with the analysis and results of several studies.
