Abstract

This paper focuses on a novel method for successive approximation register analog to digital converter control in synchronized phasor measurement units (PMUs). To compensate for the sampling time error caused by the division remainder between the desirable sampling rate and the oscillator frequency, a variable sampling interval control method is presented by interlacing two integers under a proposed criterion. The frequency of the onboard oscillator is monitored in real-time using the pulse per second (PPS) timing reference from global positioning system. The sampling control is adaptively adjusted each second according to the latest estimated oscillator frequency. The “saw tooth” in phasor angle error and DC offset and spikes in frequency error can be effectively eliminated by applying the proposed method. The simulation and experiment results validate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method, which is believed to be able to greatly improve the performance of PPS-disciplined synchronous sampling methods in PMUs.

A two-phase investment model for optimal allocation of phasor measurement units considering transmission switching

Journal Article Mousavian, Seyedamirabbas ; Valenzuela, Jorge ; Wang, Jianhui - Electric Power Systems Research

Ensuring the reliability of an electrical power system requires a wide-area monitoring and full observability of the state variables. Phasor measurement units (PMUs) collect in real time synchronized phasors of voltages and currents which are used for the observability of the power grid. Due to the considerable cost of installing PMUs, it is not possible to equip all buses with PMUs. In this paper, we propose an integer linear programming model to determine the optimal PMU placement plan in two investment phases. In the first phase, PMUs are installed to achieve full observability of the power grid whereas additional PMUsmore »« less

Synchronized Phasor Measurement Unit-based Central Controller for Normal and Contingent Operation of a High-Capacity HVDC Macrogrid for the Continental US

Journal Article Mohan, Nihal ; Figueroa-Acevedo, Armando ; Elizondo, Marcelo A. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Power Systems

This paper presents a Synchronized Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) based controller to support the coordination and operation of a high-capacity high-voltage direct current (HVDC) macrogrid transmission for the continental US. The proposed controller allows for optimal scheduling of each segment of the multi-terminal HVDC network under normal and contingent conditions, while considering minimum levels of frequency response requirements. The performance of the proposed controller is tested on a 100,222-bus representation of the US Eastern and Western interconnections. Results show that a centralized PMU-based controller improves the frequency nadir of the HVDC macrogrid under contingency conditions by 25.9%. Furthermore, the primarymore »« less

Impact of the Measurement Errors on Synchrophasor-Based WAMS Applications

Journal Article Zhao, Jiecheng ; Tan, Jin ; Wu, Ling ; ... - IEEE Access

Data from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) inform powerful diagnostic tools that can help avert catastrophic failures in the power grid. Because of this, PMU measurement errors are particularly problematic, and it is critical to understand their impact. However, there is limited understanding of how much the PMU measurement errors affect the performance of various synchrophasor-based applications, and thus the ability of these applications to fulfill the users' requirements effectively is also unclear. This paper examines internal and external factors contributing to PMU phase angle and frequency measurement errors. A generic method is proposed to evaluate the impact of measurement errorsmore »« less

Effects of Phasor Measurement Uncertainty on Power Line Outage Detection

Journal Article Chen, Chen ; Wang, Jianhui ; Zhu, Hao - IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing

Phasor measurement unit (PMU) technology provides an effective tool to enhance the wide-area monitoring systems (WAMSs) in power grids. Although extensive studies have been conducted to develop several PMU applications in power systems (e.g., state estimation, oscillation detection and control, voltage stability analysis, and line outage detection), the uncertainty aspects of PMUs have not been adequately investigated. This paper focuses on quantifying the impact of PMU uncertainty on power line outage detection and identification, in which a limited number of PMUs installed at a subset of buses are utilized to detect and identify the line outage events. Specifically, the linemore »« less

Utilization of optical sensors for phasor measurement units

Journal Article Yao, Wenxuan ; Wells, David ; King, Daniel ; ... - Electric Power Systems Research

With the help of GPS signals for synchronization, increasingly ubiquitous phasor measurement units (PMUs) provide power grid operators unprecedented system monitoring and control opportunities. However, the performance of PMUs is limited by the inherent deficiencies in traditional transformers. To address these issues, an optical sensor is used in PMU for signal acquisition to replace the traditional transformers. This is the first time the utilization of an optical sensor in PMUs has ever been reported. The accuracy of frequency, angle, and amplitude are evaluated via experiments. Lastly, the optical sensor based PMU can achieve the accuracy of 9.03 × 10^–4 Hzmore »« less
