FIG. 31 is an example process for real-time stability indexing of an electrical system, in accordance with one embodiment. In one embodiment, the operational steps that comprise the process are implemented through a transient stability modeling engine (application/software tool) that runs on the power analytics server. In another embodiment, the operational steps that comprise the process are implemented through a transient stability modeling engine that runs on a separate (network application) server that is communicatively connected to the power analytics server. Ju still another embodiment, the operational steps that comprise the process are implemented through a plurality of discrete applications that are distributed amongst one or more (network application) servers that are communicatively connected with the power analytics server. It should be understood, however, that the application(s) can be distributed in any configuration as long as the application(s) can communicatively access the power analytics server to implement the process.
The method begins with operation 3102 where real-time data output from components of the electrical system is acquired using a data acquisition component communicatively connected to sensors interfaced with the electrical system in the manner described above with respect to FIGS. 1 and 4.
