Protection-oriented (P Class) phasor measurement units (PMUs) are required to reconcile high accuracy and low latency in order promptly detect possible anomalous operating conditions power systems. Most of the existing estimators synchrophasor magnitude, phase, frequency, rate change frequency (ROCOF) voltage or current AC waveforms need acquire samples at least two line cycles meet P Class req...

This paper presents performance evaluation of a new architecture for phasor estimation within IEC 61850 substation Process-Bus. To benefit from the raw IEC 61850-9-2 Sampled Measured Values streamed with high sampling rate from various Merging Units at substation bay level, Unsented Kalman Filter is proposed to be utilized in the computation of Phasor at substation process level to enhance the ...

The electrical quantities of future power networks are expected to exhibit strong fluctuations caused by dynamic bidirectional energy flows transferred from/to a multitude of “prosumers”. Such variations have to be accurately measured in real-time either for efficient power distribution or for safety and protection purposes. This task can be accomplished by the Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs), ...

A study is presented on power oscillation damping control (POD) using wide area measurements applied to a single static var compensator (SVC). An equivalent power system model representing key characteristics of the Nordic power system is used. Feedback signals from remote phasor measurment units (PMUs) in Norway and Finland are used to damp the critical inter-area modes through a large SVC uni...

We study the communication network of an on-campus active distribution network (ADN) that comprises phasor measurement units (PMUs) connected to medium-voltage transformers. Within stringent time delays and with minimal loss the PMUs periodically transfer fresh measurements through a phasor data concentrator (PDC) to a centralized electrical network state estimator (control point). Due to stric...
