Real-Time Operations

PowerWorld Corporation has been working hard on applications to visualize real-time conditions in the control room and remotely and also to integrate the often disjointed worlds of real-time operations and planning. PowerWorld customers include many leading Independent System Operators (ISO) and utilities of all sizes.
