Title: Synchronized Phasor Data for Analyzing Wind Power Plant Dynamic Behavior and Model Validation

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1067916· OSTI ID:1067916

The U.S. power industry is undertaking several initiatives that will improve the operations of the power grid. One of those is the implementation of 'wide area measurements' using phasor measurement units (PMUs) to dynamically monitor the operations and the status of the network and provide advanced situational awareness and stability assessment. This project seeks to obtain PMU data from wind power plants and grid reference points and develop software tools to analyze and visualize synchrophasor data for the purpose of better understanding wind power plant dynamic behaviors under normal and contingency conditions.
