This paper describes the MedFasee project aiming at the development of a phasor measurement system (PMS) prototype and its applications for monitoring and control of power systems operation. A review of the state of the art, presented in the paper, provided the starting point for the project. A PMS simulator, developed to identify functionalities and specify system components, is presented. The...

Paper describes start-up of Croatian Academic Research Wide Area Monitoring System (CARWAMS), which is intended to support involvement of small R&D teams into fast developing synchronized measurement technology (SMT). Low voltage synchrophasors are collected by platform called WAMSTER, including handheld Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and GPRS data transfer to a dedicated served. Measurements ...

Phasor measurement Being able to determine phasors across the power system at a fixed point in time has the potential to solve these problems. One of the key components of future utility systems will therefore be Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). PMUs rely on a GPS time signal for extremely accurate time-stamping of the power system information. A GPS satellite receiver (see box on page 60) prov...

When disturbances occur in power grid, monitoring, control and protection systems are required to stop the grid degradation, restore it to a normal state, and hence minimize their effects. However, in wide area power grid resulting from large extension and interconnection with neighbor grids, classical systems based on local independent measurements and decisions are not able to consider the ov...

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...

This paper presents a review of the Phasor Measurement Units employed in the Modern Power Systems. Synchronized phasor measurements have advanced the power system monitoring, controlling, protecting and operating standards in the recent decades. Its potential can be used effectively in the process of upgrading the current power grids into smart grids. With these ideas in mind, a review on PMU i...
