Towards using utility data to quantify how investments would have increased the wind resilience of distribution systems

Arslan Ahmad, Ian Dobson

We quantify resilience with metrics extracted from the historical outage data that is routinely recorded by many distribution utilities. The outage data is coordinated with wind da…

Models, metrics, and their formulas for typical electric power system resilience events

Ian Dobson

Poisson process models are defined in terms of their rates for outage and restore processes in power system resilience events. These outage and restore processes easily yield the p…

The most frequent N-k line outages occur in motifs that can improve contingency selection

Kai Zhou, Ian Dobson, Zhaoyu Wang

Multiple line outages that occur together show a variety of spatial patterns in the power transmission network. Some of these spatial patterns form network contingency motifs, whic…

How long is a resilience event in a transmission system?: Metrics and models driven by utility data

Ian Dobson, Svetlana Ekisheva

We discuss ways to measure duration in a power transmission system resilience event by modeling outage and restore processes from utility data. We introduce novel Poisson process m…

Extracting resilience metrics from distribution utility data using outage and restore process statistics

Nichelle'Le K. Carrington, Ian Dobson, Zhaoyu Wang

Resilience curves track the accumulation and restoration of outages during an event on an electric distribution grid. We show that a resilience curve generated from utility data ca…

Real-Time Monitoring of Area Angles with Synchrophasor Measurements

Wenyun Ju, Ian Dobson, Kenneth Martin +7

This paper develops a comprehensive framework of Area Angle Monitoring (AAM) to monitor the stress of bulk power transfer across an area of a power transmission system in real-time…
