This minitrack focuses on topics related to the monitoring and control of complex systems such as power systems to ensure that disturbances have a minimal impact on performance. Specific topics include: steady-state and dynamic security assessment where the impacts of pre-specified contingencies are analyzed; Available Transfer Capability (ATC) which quantifies the ability of the interconnected system to accept increases in power transfers; widearea measurement technologies, state estimation, and the investigation of new realtime control strategies.
