Smart grids can be defined as supplying Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) tools to those traditional grids as one way to manage breakdowns and respond to emerging changes quickly and efficiently. Even when utilizing smart grids, some power outages may occur. In this case, the smart grids can perfectly spot the problem by means of softwares and level the power around the problem, preventing its spread. In fact, issues like power system restoration, blackout prediction, and resiliency are still posing problems even with the manipulation of some algorithms like Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems (SCADA) and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC).

Definitely it should be used several applications in control room for weather hazard on power system. SCADA system will be first source of information from power system and in control room can be used like base source for other application in control room. Smart grid applications in control room should have Intelligent Alarm Processing system, IAP. That application are feed from SCADA system and have special algorithm. With that, application will give in real time root cause analyses, which means it will be exactly pointed the first disturbance, which cause cascading event or blackout. Performance metrics for that application is running in real time, second or two delay in comparison with SCADA time. In circumstances like cascading events large amount of signals are inflow in SCADA and it is hard to recognized important signals for dispatcher in control room. Other applications in control room are weather applications. Lightning Location Detection system, LLS is crucial part of smart grid applications in control room. With that applications it is possible to track in real time storms and it is possible to do predictions where and when storms move. Performance metrics for that application is also real time, only few seconds’ delay after SCADA events. Complex LLS system use SCADA like source for own algorithm, beside the detection from lightning sensors. Blackout prediction is a complex process for Transmission System Operators, TSOs. It runs on various time horizons, yearly, monthly, daily, hourly and in almost second range. Energy Management System, EMS have state estimator which is operate each minute or more often in control center. In addition, it start calculations on topology change and calculate N-1 security constrain.
