With the construction of ultra-high voltage(UHV)AC/DC interconnected power grid, the advancement of new energy and the deepening of electricity market reform, significant changes have taken place in the operation of power grid in China, which makes higher requirements on the dispatching and control functions. Based on the integrated distribution and concentration deployment scheme of application functions, this paper gives an overview of the new features of the application function, i. e. , global, rapid and accurate, analyzes the technological support to realize such application functions, and points out the urgency of promotion basic work such as power grid model, operation data and management rules.
