Abstract

Traditional synchrophasors rely on current transformers and potential transformers physically connected to transmission lines or buses to acquire input signals for phasor measurement. However, it is challenging to install and maintain traditional phasor measurement units in some remote areas due to lack of facilities. Since transmission lines naturally generate alternating electrical and magnetic fields in the surrounding atmosphere, this paper presents two innovative designs for non-contact synchronized measurement devices (NCSMDs), including an electric field sensor-based non-contact SMD (E-NCSMD) and a magnetic field sensor-based non-contact SMD (M-NCSMD). Compared with conventional synchrophasors, E-NCSMD and M-NCSMD are much more flexible to be deployed and have much lower costs, making E-NCSMDs and M-NCSMD highly accessible and useful for a wide array of phasor measurement applications. Laboratory and field experiment results verified the effectiveness of the designs of both E-NCSMD and M-NCSMD.

PMU Data Integrity Evaluation through Analytics on a Virtual Test-Bed

Conference Olama, Mohammed M. ; Shankar, Mallikarjun

Power systems are rapidly becoming populated by phasor measurement units (PMUs) in ever increasing numbers. PMUs are critical components of today s energy management systems, designed to enable near real-time wide area monitoring and control of the electric power system. They are able to measure highly accurate bus voltage phasors as well as branch current phasors incident to the buses at which PMUs are equipped. Synchrophasor data is used for applications varying from state estimation, islanding control, identifying outages, voltage stability detection and correction, disturbance recording, and others. However, PMU-measured readings may suffer from errors due to meter biases ormore »« less
Wireless Sensor Network for Electric Transmission Line Monitoring

Technical Report Alphenaar, Bruce

Generally, federal agencies tasked to oversee power grid reliability are dependent on data from grid infrastructure owners and operators in order to obtain a basic level of situational awareness. Since there are many owners and operators involved in the day-to-day functioning of the power grid, the task of accessing, aggregating and analyzing grid information from these sources is not a trivial one. Seemingly basic tasks such as synchronizing data timestamps between many different data providers and sources can be difficult as evidenced during the post-event analysis of the August 2003 blackout. In this project we investigate the efficacy and costmore »« less

Impact of GPS Signal Loss and Its Mitigation in Power System Synchronized Measurement Devices

Journal Article Yao, Wenxuan ; Liu, Yong ; Zhou, Dao ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid

With the aid of global positioning system (GPS), synchronized measurement devices (SMDs) are increasingly deployed across power systems to monitor the status of electric grids by providing accurate measurement data along with unified time stamps. Unfortunately, GPS receivers tend to lose signal lock when certain uncontrollable and unpredictable factors arise. In order to investigate the presence of GPS signal loss (GSL) issues on measurement devices, analysis is performed on historical data from both phasor data concentrators and FNET/GridEye servers. Meanwhile, the impact of GSL on field measurement accuracy has not been previously explored in depth. Through analysis and experimental tests,more »« less

Use of Machine Learning on PMU Data for Transmission System Fault Analysis

Conference Kezunovic, Mladen ; Obradovic, Zoran ; Hu, Yi

Synchrophasor technology has been used for monitoring, control, and protection of bulk power system for over 10 years. Deployment of phasor measurement units (PMUs) in the USA power system has surpassed 3000 units installed in the transmission substations as stand-alone intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) or as a software add-on to other devices such as digital protective relays (DPRs) or digital fault recorders (DFRs). By now, thousands of terabytes of PMU data may have been captured and stored by various transmission system operators (TSOs) and independent system operators (ISOs). This creates an opportunity to deploy advanced machine learning (ML) techniques tomore »« less

Pre-commercial Demonstration of Direct Non-iterative State Estimator for Operational Use of Synchrophasor Management Systems

Technical Report Lelic, Muhidin ; Avramovic, Bozidar ; Jiang, Tony ; ...

The objective of this project was to demonstrate functionality and performance of a Direct Non-iterative State Estimator (DNSE) integrated with NYPA’s Energy Management System (EMS) and with enhanced Real Time Dynamics Monitoring System (RTDMS) synchrophasor platform from Electric Power Group (EPG). DNSE is designed to overcome a major obstacle to operational use of Synchro-Phasor Management Systems (SPMS) by providing to synchrophasor management systems (SPMS) applications a consistent and a complete synchrophasor data foundation in the same way that a traditional EMS State Estimator (SE) provides to EMS applications. Specifically, DNSE is designed to use synchrophasor measurements collected by a centralmore »« less
