Situation awareness improved in
control room.
Operators are all looking at same
information
Solution Results and Benefits Business Challenge
Being able to visualize large
amounts of data is not
possible with desktop PCs.
Desktop monitors too small
for one-line overviews of large
transmission systems.
Create PI ProcessBook
displays for generation and
transmission data that can be
visible to all operators in the
control room.
PJM is using PI ProcessBook displays on
the large video walls and desktops in the
control room for the operators to view
generation outputs of over 1300
generators, and various transmission
related displays.

Situational Awareness Benefits with PI System
© Copyr i gh t 2014 OSIso f t , LLC.
Synchrophasor Data at PJM
• 360 PMUs installed in 90 substations
• Approx 4500 PI Tags collecting data
• Estimated 1TB data per month collected
• Phasor PI Tags used for alarming in Intelligent Event
Processor tool.
• Phasor data used for after event analysis

Performance Compliance
department is currently using PMU
data for analysis of system
disturbances.
Engineers are using PMU data for
stability analysis.
Solution Results and Benefits Business Challenge
Be able to capture instability
on the transmission system
that happens in cycles which
normally wouldn’t be picked
up in SCADA data
Install PMU at all major
substations and capture the
data in PI System so
displays can be built for real-
time monitoring and post
mortem analysis.
SCADA data is received every 2-4
seconds. PMU data is received at much
faster scan rates and can pick up small
changes in frequency and voltages that
can be missed with SCADA data.

Wind Unit

Future data is combined with historical and real-time data
Wind Power Forecasting
© Copyr i gh t 2014 OSIso f t , LLC.
Dispatchers can view the real-
time outputs of individual wind
farms and view the forecast MW.
Results in better situational
awareness in the control room.
Solution Results and Benefits Business Challenge
Balance generation supply
with load can be challenging
with wind outputs that can
quickly increase or decrease
Build PI ProcessBook displays
with Wind Farm outputs and
trends with real-time MW and
forecasted MW.
With the increasing amount of wind
generation on the system, there is a need
to display the output of each wind farm due
to the volatility nature of wind generation.

Ongoing project – PI System
integration into dynamic map
slated for 2015 timeframe.
Solution Results and Benefits Business Challenge
The need exists for a dynamic
map that covers the PJM
system and can display
weather information along
with transmission and
generation data.
Combine Esri and OSIsoft
products to visualize power
flows on the PJM grid.
With a control area spanning 13 states, PJM
needs a tool to view a wide area picture of
the transmission system.
