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 ...

Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) are playing an increasingly important role in wide-area monitoring and control of power systems. PMUs allow synchronous real-time measurements of voltage, phase angle and frequency from multiple remote locations in the grid, enabled by their ability to align to Global Position System (GPS) clocks. Given that this ability is vulnerable to GPS spoofing attacks, whic...

The automated real time control of an electrical network is achieved through the estimation of its state using phasor measurement units. Given an undirected graph representing the network, we study the problem of finding the minimum number of phasor measurement units to place on the edges such that the graph is fully observed. This problem is also known as the Power Edge Set problem, a variant ...

The awareness of the state of the power grid, such as voltage magnitude, frequency and phasor angle is critical to maintain reliable and stable operations of the power grid. Synchronized by a common timing source, synchrophasors measure the electrical waves on power grids. The collected data are transmitted to the central server for further data processing and analysis, such as abnormal event d...

Present power systems operate in more and more difficult conditions generated by various physical and economic factors. Pushing the power system closer to its physical limits worsens the reliability and security of the general operating conditions. Hence, a better control across the entire grid, through more intensive online analysis is needed. At present, a common point of view considers that ...
