Introduction to the Monitoring, Control and Protection Minitrack

This minitrack focuses on topics related to the monitoring, control, and protection of electric power systems for real-time operations and short-term operations planning. Innovations that focus on recent developments in the area of large-scale dynamic research for power systems and on hybrid and distributed control concepts for decentralized command and control of existing critical energy infrastructures were specifically sought for this year’s program. The minitrack has two sessions. One session will showcase recent developments in the area of large-scale dynamic research in the power system area. The second session addresses distributed control concepts that can be integrated into a more decentralized command and control of existing critical energy infrastructures.
