I'll be giving a talk at the Power Quality 2004 Conference, part of the PowerSystems World 2004 Exhibition & Conference. It will be held in Chicago, Illinois, at the Navy Pier Convention Center, November 16-18, 2004. This year will mark my 5th presentation at the conference. My topic is; "A Different Approach to Power Quality and Reliability Software".
The preliminary abstract is as follows:
Power quality and electrical system software is locked-in to a 20th century model of delivery. PQ professionals create models, programmers code and users install stand-alone software programs for use on individual computers. Electrical power quality software is mired in a world of monolithic packages that are not adaptable to new data analysis or signal processing techniques. This paper explores a way of presenting power quality analytics as a set of services that can be delivered over a network. Web services provide flexibility, reliability and modularity. A set of web services from one provider can easily be combined or used with services from another. Along with these services must come a new way of looking at data standards. The paper examines ways of moving from file based protocols and looks at how XML, SOAP and data interchange techniques can be exploited in the electrical world. Examples of simple services and a concept for a comprehensive system incorporating typical power quality requirements are presented.
