Utilization of Color Composite satellite Image for Reliable Grid Operation

Weather conditions have significant impact on Power System elements and its operation. Electricity demand pattern is adversely impacted by change in weather parameters i.e. Rain, Snow, temperature, heat wave, cold wave conditions, fog etc. As electricity demand varies with change in weather conditions, the electricity generation is also indirectly affected by weather conditions. This paper discusses about real time Color Composite imagery for fog Monitoring, Mitigating adverse impact of weather resulting in unwanted trippings in Power System and analysis of overall improvement in system operation due to improve visualization of weather conditions.
