Title: A Distribution Level Wide Area Monitoring System for the Electric Power Grid–FNET/GridEye

Abstract

The wide area monitoring system (WAMS) is considered a pivotal component of future electric power grids. As a pilot WAMS that has been operated for more than a decade, the frequency monitoring network FNET/GridEye makes use of hundreds of global positioning system-synchronized phasor measurement sensors to capture the increasingly complicated grid behaviors across the interconnected power systems. In this paper, the FNET/GridEye system is overviewed and its operation experiences in electric power grid wide area monitoring are presented. Particularly, the implementation of a number of data analytics applications will be discussed in details. FNET/GridEye lays a firm foundation for the later WAMS operation in the electric power industry.

FNET/GridEye: A Tool for Situational Awareness of Large Power Interconnetion Grids

Conference Zhu, Lin ; You, Shutang ; Yin, He ; ...

This paper gives an overview of a wide-area measurement system deployed at the distribution level: FNET/GridEye, which consists of hundreds of sensors, communication and a data center. The sensors are utilized to take frequency, voltage phase angle and magnitude measurements from the ordinary 110 or 220V outlets in offices or residential houses. These measurements are continuously transmitted to the data center via Internet. Many applications have been implemented to monitor large-scale interconnected power grids, and interpret grid operation status to improve system operators' situational awareness capability. Some representative online and offline applications are presented in this paper, as well asmore »« less

FNETVision: A WAMS Big Data Knowledge Discovery System

Conference Wang, Weikang ; Zhao, Jiecheng ; Yu, Wenpeng ; ...

With the growing awareness of the power system stability, wide area measurement system (WAMS) has been widely studied and deployed. In WAMS, a phasor data concentrator (PDC) collects and persists the GPS-time-synchronized phasor data from hundreds of phasor measurement units (PMU). Due to the size and complexity of the modern power systems, the number of deployed PMUs has been increasing and their data size becomes increasingly large. The large data volume challenges the analysis, and the knowledge discovery of the measurement data. This paper takes the pioneering distribution level WAMS- the frequency monitoring network FNET/GridEye as an example. It developsmore »« less

Power grid frequency prediction using spatiotemporal modeling

Journal Article Lenzi, Amanda ; Bessac, Julie ; Anitescu, Mihai - Statistical Analysis and Data Mining

Abstract Understanding power system dynamics is essential for interarea oscillation analysis and the detection of grid instabilities. The FNET/GridEye is a GPS‐synchronized wide‐area frequency measurement network that provides an accurate picture of the normal real‐time operational condition of the power system dynamics, giving rise to new and intricate spatiotemporal patterns of power loads. We propose to model FNET/GridEye grid frequency data from the U.S. Eastern Interconnection with a spatiotemporal statistical model. We predict the frequency data at locations without observations, a critical need during disruption events where measurement data are inaccessible. Spatial information is accounted for either as neighboring measurementsmore »« less

Time-frequency based cyber security defense of wide-area control system for fast frequency reserve

Journal Article Qiu, Wei ; Sun, Kaiqi ; Yao, Wenxuan ; ... - International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems

Global power systems are transiting from conventional fossil fuel energy to renewable energies due to their environmental benefits. The increasing penetration of renewable energies presents challenges for power system operation. The efficiency and sufficiency of responsive reserves have become increasingly important for power systems with a high proportion of renewable energies. The Fast Frequency Reserve (FFR), especially the Wide-area Monitoring System (WAMS)-based FFR, is a promising and effective solution to secure and enhance the stability of power systems. However, cyber security has become a new challenge for the WAMS-based FFR system. Cyber attacks on the FFR control system may threatenmore »« less
