Power system operations increasingly demand distributed, decentralized, integrated, flexible, and open control centers, with current centers gradually adopting grid computing and web‑service technologies. The paper reviews control center functions and architectures over time and proposes a grid‑service‑based future model. The authors survey technologies that enable distributed control centers, covering current implementations and future grid‑service approaches.
In this paper, we review the functions and architectures of control centers: their past, present, and likely future. The evolving changes in power system operational needs require a distributed control center that is decentralized, integrated, flexible, and open. Present-day control centers are moving in that direction with varying degrees of success. The technologies employed in today's control centers to enable them to be distributed are briefly reviewed. With the rise of the Internet age, the trend in information and communication technologies is moving toward Grid computing and Web services, or Grid services. A Grid service-based future control center is stipulated.
