Abstract
This chapter describes the implementation of voltage and transient stability assessment tools at California Independent System Operator (CAISO). The architectural setup of the various real-time systems and data flow needed to achieve the implementation of real-time voltage and transient stability assessments that support the requirements laid out in the System Operating Limits Methodology are provided. The needed configurations of the voltage and transient stability scenarios to be monitored for stability assessments in real-time are described. In addition, various examples on how the voltage and transient stability assessment tools can be utilized to gain additional information and assessments that can be helpful for better situational awareness of operators are provided. Also discussed are the various challenges of implementing voltage and transient stability assessment tools and ensuring their continuous operation.
