Customers do not have electricity in their homes or businesses, so\u2014among other issues\u2014they do not have lights, heat or air conditioning.<\/p>\n

Power companies must scramble to find the problem, fix it and prevent it from happening again.<\/p>\n

A professor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, TVA and Grid Protection Alliance are collaborating on a way to prevent all those headaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was something TVA talked about early on,\u201d said Dr. Don Reising, a Guerry and UC Foundation associate professor of electrical engineering at UTC. \u201cIt was, \u2018Man, it\u2019d be really great if we could predict these things and see that they\u2019re going to fail before they actually catastrophically fail.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Reising and his graduate students have researched the issue for the past three years using $300,000 in TVA grants. They devised a solution that TVA is testing and hopes to implement entirely in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole goal of it is to prevent failures on the system,\u201d said Tony Murphy, senior program manager for power quality at TVA. \u201cIf we have a piece of equipment that is trending towards failure, now we can be alerted to it proactively and preemptively take it out of service, repair it or replace it before the catastrophic failure occurs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we can do that, we improve reliability. We prevent an unplanned outage, so there\u2019s no power outages to the customers or the system.\u201d<\/p>\n

The failure of some equipment can be so disastrous that it causes a chain reaction through the system, wrecking other pieces of equipment. Sometimes, equipment may even explode, sending dangerous shrapnel flying.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith people nearby, it could result in injury or death, so it\u2019s a safety-performance improvement,\u201d Murphy said.<\/p>\n

The problem is that predicting equipment failure is more challenging than it might seem at first glance.<\/p>\n

Dr. Don Reising<\/p><\/div>\n

TVA uses digital fault recorders spread throughout the system\u2019s seven-state region to record minute-by-minute data from its operation. The recorders collect data 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year\u2014an amount so voluminous that \u201cit was impossible to go through it all\u201d to look for potential problems, Reising said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t know what abnormal is if you don\u2019t know what normal is,\u201d he explained. \u201cIf you\u2019re only looking at a small percentage of the events that are happening in your system, you have no idea if those are legitimate and supposed to be happening. You couldn\u2019t tell the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murphy said that system-wide data was scarce before the fault recorders were created.<\/p>\n

\u201cYears ago, the problem was we didn\u2019t have data,\u201d he said. \u201cIf some bad thing would happen in the system, going into an investigation to do post-analysis was very difficult.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem has now gone from \u2018no data\u2019 to \u2018we are drowning in data.\u2019 We need some means of mining the nuggets of gold out from among all the rocks, so to speak.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reising and his team conducted research that developed software that can take reams of data, compress it and analyze it more quickly than a human could ever do.<\/p>\n

Murphy said it is now possible to take a massive amount of data and see patterns in the electrical grid that may indicate problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes it manageable for us to retrieve and process,\u201d he said. \u201cIt can flag for variances of \u2018off normal\u2019 as another thing to alert us to trending health issues on the system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reising said that one of the goals was to make the new software available to all power companies. Around two years ago, he began working with Grid Protection Alliance, a Chattanooga not-for-profit organization specializing in developing and supporting open-source software solutions for the electric industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think that there is a huge value in using open-source software for utilities like TVA,\u201d said Dr. Chris Lackner, GPA\u2019s operating officer of grid solutions. \u201cWe are a not-for-profit that focuses on enabling innovation and technological improvements by using open-source software.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lackner\u2019s research background includes stints at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, and ISO New England. He said it has been exciting to see the new technology and algorithms \u201cthat universities and professors like Dr. Reising come up with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this case, we have worked with TVA and took some of what he has been developing in the lab,\u201d Lackner said, \u201cand we are able to implement that into a production environment where it\u2019s actually being used to keep the power on for pretty much all of Tennessee.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been great working with UTC. We\u2019re really excited to bring some of the research Dr. Reising has done into the operational environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being open source, it is available for utilities for free, Lackner explained.<\/p>\n

Reising said it\u2019s possible for the technology to be used by power companies both large and small, especially those in rural areas or regional-type utilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you look at some of these local companies,\u201d he said, \u201cthey don\u2019t have a lot of people to do the work. They might not have the resources\u2014whether that\u2019s in money or that\u2019s people or both\u2014to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lackner agreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to facilitate the use of open-source software, so this is an example of that,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are trying to go to utilities and say, \u2018Hey, there\u2019s this cool tool; it\u2019s open source and it\u2019s available to you. Let\u2019s see if we can get that into production at your utility.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether that\u2019s San Diego Gas and Electric over on the West Coast or the Independent System Operator of New England up in the Northeast, we\u2019re not just limited to putting this into production here.\u201d<\/p>\n
