Reliability Assessment of Power System Backup Protection in Smart Grid Control Center Using Phasor Measurement Units (PMU)

چکیده
Catastrophic failures in power grid due to maloperation of traditional backup protection system (e.g. third zone of distance relays) was one of the main causes of many cascade trips. This paper assess a new wide-area backup protection system (WABPS) based on phasor measurement units (PMU), to improve third zone of distance relays to avoid its mal-operation. Based on this assessment, phasor measurement units with high speed communication system such as fiber optic and using time transfer with GPS system have dynamic adjustment for reliable backup protection system to avoid mal-operation. The new backup protection system is based on phasor measurement units (PMU) obtained from studies on the IEEE 9 bus test system using Matlab Simulink. It can successfully distinguish between actual and virtual faults for interconnected lines

An adaptive supervised wide-area backup protection scheme for transmission lines protection
Maloperation of conventional relays is becoming prevalent due to ever increase in complexity of conventional power grids. They are dominant during power system contingencies like power swing, load encroachment, voltage instability, unbalanced loading, etc. In these situations, adaptive supervised wide-area backup protection (ASWABP) plays a major role in enhancing the power system reliability. ...

In this paper a new algorithm based on phasor measurements for estimating the Thévenin Equivalent (TE) and system inertia constant is proposed. The method estimates the network TE seen from a generator terminal and equivalent system inertia constant by means of phasor data that is available at Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC) center. It is shown that the parameters of the TE could be estimated at...
متن کاملVulnerability Analysis of Wide Area Measurement System in the Smart Grid
The smart grid will be a power grid more “aware” of its operating state and having the ability to self-heal. These features may be incorporated into the grid by implementing a phasor measurement units based wide area measurement system. Such a system will help in better real time monitoring and control of the grid. However, the wide area measurement system is subject to challenges with respect ...
