The VISOR project is a GB innovation project led by SP Energy Networks SPENN) that brings together the three GB transmission system owners (SPEN, National Grid and SSE), the GB system operator (National Grid), researchers (The University of Manchester) and vendors (GE Grid Solutions).
More details about the VISOR project can be found in the initial project submission [7].
This paper presents the wider scope of the VISOR project and the GB wide WAMS that has been deployed.
For the purposes of an innovation level demonstration of the WMU and the applications it enables, as part of the VISOR project, this is not an obstacle.
Therefore, the motivation for VISOR project is to help build the case for business as usual deployment of WAMS in the GB system.
The ultimate goal of the VISOR project is to help build the case for business as usual deployment of WAMS in GB.
Section 3 presents the WAMS that is being deployed by the VISOR project and introduces the waveform measurement units (WMUs) that are being trialed for the first time as part of it.
In Great Britain (GB), the deployment of the first WAMS to monitor the entire power system in real time was the responsibility of the visualization of real time system dynamics using enhanced monitoring (VISOR) project.
The VISOR project seeks to create the first WAMS to monitor the entire GB power system and based on this showcase the benefits of WAMS to the GB system.
The core scope of the VISOR project is to deploy this WAMS and demonstrate how WAMS applications can in the near term provide system operators and planners with clear, actionable information.
