The low voltage level synchrophasor measurement data are investigated to estimate the damping ratio and to detect any oscillation mode using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT). Complex Morlet (CM) is selected as a mother wavelet function considering its ability to reveal time and frequency localization simultaneously. A Two Area Four Machine System (TAFMS) model...

Power measurement systems, such as Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) structures, require installation of special voltage and current instrument transformers connected to the energized conductor to collect data from the power line. While non-contacting methods of current monitoring are already well known and implemented, the contactless voltage monitoring is still lacking. This paper describes a tun...

This article presents a study on real-time testing of synchrophasor-based “wide-area monitoring system’s applications (WAMS application).” Considering the growing demand monitoring, protection, and control (WAMPAC)” applications, systematic methodology is formulated delineated in diagrams. The diagrams propose several stages through which an application needs to be assessed (sequentially) for i...

A synchrophasor system solution generally incorporates precise timing sources, Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs), Phasor Data Concentrators (PDCs), communication network and phasor based applications. Even though all components may pass the laboratory tests, there is no guaranty that everything will work properly together after installation and deployment in the field. To preserve an acceptable l...

-After two decades of phasor network deployment, phasor measurements are now available at many major substations and power plants. The North American SynchroPhasor Initiative (NASPI), supported by the US Department of Energy and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), provides a forum to facilitate cultivating the efforts in phasor technology in North America and globally. P...

The goal of the proposed procedure in this dissertation is the implementation of phasor measurement unit (PMU) based instability detection for islanding prediction procedures using decision tree and neural network modeling. The islanding in the power system define as a separation of the coherent group of generators from the rest of the system due to contingencies, in the case that all generator...

The knowledge of dynamic states of electrical machine, especially the relative rotor position and velocity, are very important for us to understand the machine performance and to possibly design advanced control systems. This paper addresses the state estimation problem of synchronous machines in power systems, both in deterministic and stochastic cases during small transients. The paper examin...

Power system is the integral part of our daily life. It is available everywhere in the form of simple or complex. In this technical era it is has grown mandatory for industries to avail the faultless power continuously and in a secured manner. It has become the basic necessity for every person on this earth hence it is mandatory to develop the efficient models with smart fault controlling optio...

As electricity demand continues to grow and renewable energy increases its penetration in the power grid, realtime state tracking becomes essential for system monitoring and control. Recent developments in phasor technology make realtime dynamic state estimation possible with high-speed timesynchronized data provided by synchronized Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). In this paper we present a two...

This paper presents a novel algorithm for recovering missing data of phasor measurement units (PMUs). Due to the low-rank property of PMU data, missing measurement recovery can be formulated as a low-rank matrix-completion problem. Based on maximum-margin matrix factorization, we propose an efficient algorithm based on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for solving the matrix co...
