Accurate knowledge of transmission line (TL) impedance parameters helps to improve accuracy in relay settings and power flow modeling. To improve TL parameter estimates, various algorithms have been proposed in the past to identify TL parameters based on measurements from Phasor Measurement Units (PMU’s). These methods are based on the positive sequence TL models and can generate accurate posit...

This paper presents critical survey along with the novel concept of smart power flow controller with Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) signals for stability enhancement of a large power system. Also, the current status of Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) and developments in real time applications of synchrophasor technology in power system has been adequately addressed. It has been noticed th...

A two-stage machine learning-based approach for creating synthetic phasor measurement unit (PMU) data is proposed in this article. This leverages generative adversarial networks (GAN) generation and incorporates neural ordinary differential equation (Neural ODE) to guarantee underlying physical meaning. We utilize synthetically create massive eventful PMU data, which would otherwise be difficul...

State estimation is a data processing algorithm for converting redundant meter measurements and other information into an estimate of the state power system. Relying heavily on measurements, has proven to be vulnerable cyber attacks. In this paper, novel targeted false injection attack (FDIA) model against AC proposed. Leveraging intrinsic load dynamics in ambient conditions important propertie...

Loss-of-mains protection is an important component of the protection systems of embedded generation. The role of loss-of-mains is to disconnect the embedded generator from the utility grid in the event that connection to utility dispatched generation is lost. This is necessary for a number of reasons, including the safety of personnel during fault restoration and the protection of plant against...

One of these testers, a 1980’s vintage logic test system required upgrading due to maintenance and obsolescence issues. The system had 64-Pin Electronics Cards (PEC), each with one Parametric Measurement Unit (PMU) and one functional channel for a total of 64 tester channels. A new PEC, designed by Fairchild with the assistance of students and staff of the University of New Hampshire, needed a ...

With the rapid growth of usage of phasor measurement units (PMUs) for modern power grids, the application of synchronized phasors (synchrophasors) to real-time voltage security monitoring has become an active research area. This paper presents a novel approach for fast determination of loading margin using PMU data from a wide-area monitoring system (WAMS) to construct the voltage stability bou...
