Since IEC 61850 became the widely used standard for substation communication with a lot of implementations. Testing is an important issue. The standard in its current version covers some possibilities and approaches for testing in general and for measures of performance. Nevertheless some issues came out which needed to be clarified with the new edition of the standard. Edition 2 will be available...
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.
Decentralized Energy Resources (DER) and especially wind farms became a challenge for protection, automation and control in the grids. Transmission system operators as well as distribution system operators require tests of Loss of Mains and other decoupling protection functions. In some countries certification of these functions is required. The units are equipped with a huge amount of internal protection...
Transformers are critical to the successful operation of the electrical power systems. Their reliability and availability is therefore key to flawless and optimum power generation and transmission. Effective condition monitoring is essential to evaluate transformer performance and safe operating conditions. Over the past few years many stand-alone devices have been developed for transformer condition...
This paper discusses potential extreme scenarios which could result in unstable conditions on the main interconnected electricity transmission system of Oman. Case studies on loss-of-stability scenarios between different parts of the network are examined. The objectives of the study are to identify possible locations of the electrical centre of swing and to develop an approach for controllable system...
Diagnosis of power system faults requires identification and classification of voltage disturbances in power systems and smart grids. The objective of this approach is to develop state of art signal classification algorithms for classifying different types of power quality disturbances (faults) based on latest improvements in signal processing and pattern recognition techniques. This paper proposes...
