Phasor measurement unit (PMU) GPS receiver spoofing has been addressed in the recent literatures. Having spoofed GPS signals, the spoofer can inject bad data into power system control center and consequently the protection system will face serious problems. The existing anti spoofing techniques are all based on GPS signal analysis and are just able to detect spoofing. However, as PMUs are place...

Dynamic State Estimation (DSE) techniques have the ability to foresee potential contingencies and security risks. Any improvement in its ability to estimate would definitely go a long way in reducing the security risks in the modern power system. One important factor affecting the quality of estimation is the measurement accuracy. Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) has revolutionized the way state e...

in this paper, an efficient and comprehensive hybrid intelligent technique for the optimal placement of phasor measurement units (pmus) is proposed to minimize the number of pmu installation subjected to full network observability. three main purposes of pmus output synchronous measurements are monitoring, control, and protection of power system. we have combined binary imperialistic competitio...

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...

Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are in growing attention in recent power systems because of their paramount abilities in state estimation. PMUs are placed in existing power systems where there are already installed conventional measurements, which can be helpful if they are considered in PMU optimal placement. In this paper, a method is proposed for optimal placement of PMUs incorporating conve...

state estimation is the foundation of any control and decision making in power networks. the first requirement for a secure network is a precise and safe state estimator in order to make decisions based on accurate knowledge of the network status. this paper introduces a new estimator which is able to detect bad data with few calculations without need for repetitions and estimation residual cal...

This paper presents a fast model-agnosticmethod for recovering noisy Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) data streams with missing entries. The measurements are first transformed into Page matrix, and the original signals reconstructed using low-rank matrix estimation based on optimal singular value thresholding. Two variations of recovery algorithm shown- a) an offline block-processing method imputi...

Controlled islanding is considered to be the last countermeasure to prevent system-wide blackouts in case of cascading failures. It splits the system into self-sustained islands to maintain transient stability at the expense of possible loss of load. Generator coherence identification is critical to controlled islanding scheme as it helps identify the optimal cutset to maintain system transient...

Modern power systems have begun integrating synchrophasor technologies into part of daily operations. Given the amount of solutions offered and the maturity rate of application development it is not a matter of “if” but a matter of “when” in regards to these technologies becoming ubiquitous in control centers around the world. While the benefits are numerous, the functionality of operator-level...

The objective of this paper is to find numerical bounds on the performances of algorithms for the placements of phasor measurement units (PMUs) in the power grid. Given noisy measurements and knowledge of the state correlation matrix, we use a linear minimum mean squared error estimator as the state estimator to formulate the PMU placement problem as an integer programming problem. Finding the ...
