Abstract

Web services, and more in general service-oriented architectures (SOA), are emerging as the technologies and architectures of choice for implementing distributed architectural models for performing on-line load flow monitoring of multiarea power systems in a complete secure distributed and platform independent environment. On-line load flow monitoring requires the calculation of power flow solutions by using real time data obtained from the power system clients. The proposed SOA model for on-line load flow monitoring is highly distributed and has inherent features such as scalability, reliability and also uses available computing power, hence economic feasibility is taken care mplicitly.

Keywords – On-line Load flow monitoring, Web service, service-oriented architecture
