Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to construct a location transparent distributed environment through which the on-line load flow of multi-area power systems can be monitored and controlled. A single-server/multi-client architecture has been proposed which enables that the neighboring powered system clients can access the remote relay control server at any time, with their respective data. The location transparency is the key feature of Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). Location transparency of the proposed model is the ability to access and invoke operations on the CORBA server object without needing to know where the power system object resides.
Developed distributed model also provides language transparency that facilitates the implementation of the power system logic in any programming language. A CORBA based distributed model has been developed in such a way that for every specific period of time, the remote relay control server obtains the system data simultaneously from the neighboring relays which are the clients registered with it and the server send back the response to the respective clients. The relay control server creates a new thread of control for every client request and hence complete distributed environment has been exploited.
