One of the main characteristics of Smart Grids is self healing. This means that the grid should rapidly detects, analyzes, acts and restores for system instabilities. Controlled islanding is one of the techniques used to mitigate these system instabilities. System islanding is often considered as the final stage of power system defense plans. The goal is to preserve stable areas of the faulted power...
The paper describes the concept of synchrophasors and the introduction of synchrophasors for protection applications in IEEE PC37.118.1 and then discusses different substation and transmission line protection applications. Requirements for reporting rate, time synchronization and communications architecture are discussed. Testing of protection systems based on PMUs is described at the end of the paper.
Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) have the potential to play an essential role in power system monitoring and operation in the future, particularly for power systems incorporating increasing amounts of distributed generation (DG) and possibly systems operating in islanded mode in the future [1]. Their ability to directly measure and provide the voltage and current phasors at the PMU location offers...
In this paper wide-area protection is discussed in smart microgrids. Smart grids inherently propose opportunities to enhance the protection of the lines due to the communication capabilities that present. Smart distribution microgrids would have a communication infrastructure that promotes the performance of their protection decisions. The paper considers a sample microgrid with the required communication...
Recently the importance of Wide-Area Situational Awareness (WASA) has increased as it can form the basis for power system stabilisation systems or be part of a smart grid. The standardisation of communication interfaces with the ability to integrate many kinds of sub systems becomes increasingly important in enabling the build of a standard WASA system. In Japan, Wide Area Monitoring, Protection and...
Testing of Phasor Measurement Units (PMU devices) is necessary for any PMU application, be it a simple visualization and archiving system or a more complex set of real-time system operations tools. PMUs are available from virtually every manufacturer of protection and monitoring equipment. They are often implemented as embedded functions within relays or disturbance recorders. This paper describes...
This paper builds upon the earlier research which proposed the use of satellite communication media to achieve improved performance of the Loss-Of-Mains (LOM) protection by eliminating nuisance tripping and ensuring reliable islanding detection. The focus of this paper is the practical development of the laboratory based trial of the satellite based LOM protection and the experimental assessment of...
Real-time Dynamics Monitoring System(RDMS) is applicable to monitor the dynamic behaviors of large region grid, such as low-frequency oscillation, short-circuit, frequency fluctuation, etc. For the perturbation in power systems occurs incidentally, it's difficult to collect enough cases for an complete test on RDMS, which may lead to potential risks of outage. So it's necessary to study more efficient...
