Title: Graph Computing and Its Application in Power Systems
Abstract: The (typical) five-minute computational latency of current Energy Management Systems (EMSs) can leave (and has left) system operators blind to the system state created by events that lead to cascading outages, system separation and/or system collapse. In this presentation, we present a graph-computing-based EMS that allows the EMS computational cycle time to be reduced to the SCADA sampling cycle, about five seconds. First, this is achieved by using graph database to replace the widely used rational database; Second the graph database query based memory computing technologies is used to speed up the input and output processes; Third, this is achieved in part by taking advantage of both nodal and hierarchical parallelism, to achieve high-speed graph-based state estimation, power flow, and contingency analysis applications. A production-mode case study on an existing large-scale system verifies the advantages and performance of graph computing, demonstrating that the graph-based EMS is more than 20 times faster than a contemporary commercial EMS.
Bio: Dr. Guangyi Liu (SM 2012) is Chief Technology Officer of Global Energy Interconnection Research Institute, North America.
