PowDDeR: Power Distribution Designing for Resilience Application
Measures power system resilience by analyzing responses to disturbances, such as natural or human-caused ones
Technology No. CW-18-11
PowDDeR is a software application that measures the resilience of a
power system. It captures the capabilities of the system to respond
to disturbances, including natural or human-caused ones. The
software allows for inputting and aggregating the reactive and real
power capabilities of assets in a power system. It also allows for
grouping assets as Economic Units (EcU) to show the capabilities of
the system in subsystems. The software considers factors like
latencies and transfer functions in the response of assets or
control systems. It includes a data entry screen for creating asset
types and EcUs, and allows for dragging and dropping assets into
EcUs. The tool visualizes the capabilities as a three-dimensional
manifold and provides options for customization. It also enables
"what if" scenarios to simulate cyber-physical attacks or damage to
the system. The tool can import configurations from the SG
Communication and Analysis Tool for additional asset descriptions
and network delays.
