6. Study Tool Evolution STNET and SMTNET Outage coordination tools
Use SMTNET for both real-time look-ahead studies and operations planning studies
Outage coordination tools
Real-time operations engineering

7. Synchrophasor Tools Oscillation detection Phase angle monitoring
Both local modes (generator performance) and inter-area modes (wide area impacts)
Phase angle monitoring
Support line reclosing
Wide area assessment of system stress
Mode meter
Island detection
Model validation

8. Dispatcher Training Simulator
Functional enhancements to make simulation more realistic
Create library of training scenarios to support engineer and RCSO training
Improve case creation process to be able to quickly create scenario from recently experienced real-time condition

9. Peak Contingency Analysis Monitoring
Multiple Facility Contingencies and providing appropriate situational awareness to operators and engineers
Better overviews and displays to help operators and engineers understand contingency results
Continued work flow improvements and situational awareness improvements to Peak’s RC Workbook

10. RC Workbook

11. Future for HAA Real-time Voltage Stability
Why? Real-time monitoring of voltage stability limits per new TOP standards
Dispatcher Training Simulator
Why? Expanded PER requires more training with operators and engineers
Synchrophasor applications (2017)
Transient Stability (2016)

12. Future HAA Menu
As HAA functionality grows, Peak will provide a menu of features – think cable channel selections – and associated costs
