Abstract
 Integrating Desktop Applications for Power System Restoration Drills Track: Electric and Gas Author(s): Michael Catlin The Midwest ISO (MISO), the Regional Transmission Operator (RTO) for much of central North America, facilitates an annual Power System Restoration Drill. The drill has more than 700 participants from the MISO's member companies, neighboring RTO's, and other power companies. In 2005 the MISO built an integrated process using ArcView, AutoCAD, and standard desktop applications to communicate system restoration efforts by all participants. During the drill members notified the MISO of what transmission lines were recently brought back into service, this information updated regional transmission system maps that were then distributed to all drill participants. This process was a cost effective enhancement, to other offline tools used for power system restoration drills, because of the clearly understood geographic diagrams.
