Wide-area Monitoring and Control for Power System Grid Security
نویسندگان
چکیده
Probably the most significant development in the future is the evolution of the EMS to a more intelligent, automated system to analyze, predict and prevent events leading to a total system collapse. The transition to a highly automated system is possible in part by the recent advances in communication technology, hardware architecture, web services and installation of synchronized phasor measurements to support wide-area system monitoring, protection and control. This paper addresses some issues and defines a strategy towards the coordination of local and wide-area controls and protections to ensure power system grid security. The strategy relies on the integration of the latest PMU technology and data processing to deploy different types of control actions and special protection schemes.

Vulnerability 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 ...
متن کاملA Fast Voltage Collapse Detection and Prevention Based on Wide Area Monitoring and Control
Voltage stability is one of the most important factors in maintaining reliable operation of power systems. When a disturbance occurs in the power system, it usually causes instabilities and sometimes leads to voltage collapse (VC). To avoid such problems, a novel approach called Vector Analysis (VA) is proposed that exploits a new instability detection index to provide wide area voltage stabili...
