Definition of Synchro Phasor

IEEE C37.118 definition :
A Phasor calculated from data samples using
standard time signal as a reference for the
measurement
Common timing reference can be local or global
May be Broadcast or direct connection
Referenced to Coordinated Universal Time : UTC
Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite signal

is very commonly used

IEEE C37.118 and 118-1, 118-2

IEEE PSRC working group H7 worked on
Synchro Phasor standard paper in 1994
1995 : IEEE 1344 Synchro Phasor standard
introduced
2005 : IEEE C37.118 replaced IEEE 1344
2011 : IEEE C37.118 split in to two standards
IEEE C37.118-1 : Measurements requirements
Frequency response and dynamic response
IEEE C37.188-2 : Communication requirements

Protection Applications : PMU

Promising Technology for Protection
PMU provides power frequency Phasors
Basis for all protections
No standard : Accuracy limit for wave forms with

fault transients
Different response for different PMUs
Fast protection functions with <100 mSec is not
practical
Present applications : PMU for back up protection

>100 mSec response time

Power Swing Detection

Protections settings done with known max and/or
min operating conditions of power system events
Actual operation of power system events may not
be optimal for the setting of the protection
PMU provides Phasors in real time
Better decision can be made on load shedding
and system stability
Real time Phasor value helps to fine tune State
estimation

Based on pre determined sequence of actions
Wide Area Stability and Voltage Control (WACS)
uses PMU data through out the system to make
decisions based on power system disturbance
based on algorithm

Distance to Fault
Single ended fault location algorithm inaccuracy
Fault resistance, load flow & non homogenous system
PMU enables double ended fault location

PMU data from both end of the line provides very
accurate fault location
Reclose decision can be made for mixed overhead and
cable transmission line
Improved line patrolling :Better productivity & Reliability
Fault location algorithm is based on positive sequence
system parameters

Automatic Generation Shedding

CFE implemented AGSS scheme
CFE has generation in southeast part of the
country while the large load is in the center
If the angle between generation & load bus
exceeds certain value, generation can be tripped
Loss of 400kV transmission capacity can cause
system out of step condition
One line out of service : 70 Phase shift
Both line out of service : 140 Phase shift
CFE chose 100 to be setting for load shedding

Channel Analysis
Comm.
Both ends Current diff. with PMU measurements
Initial charging current higher then expected
Almost reached tripping threshold
Load current will retract away from tripping threshold
Load increased but diff current increased towards

tripping threshold
Angle difference was almost 60 Degrees
Communication asymmetry higher then expected
Or Phasing error
22

Comm. Channel Analysis

Meter command at both end of the protection
Shows same measured values
Meter command uses VA source as reference
VA = 345kV 00
VB = 345kV -1200
Vc = 345kV 1200
Meter command is not sufficient

If VA is connected to VB& VB is connected Vc & Vc is
connected to VA results will be same
PMU solves the problem

51
PMU Concepts
What does a PMU report (see IEEE C37.118.2)?
A stream of data messages at a given sample rate
(in the range 10-60 per second)
Each message includes:

One or more Phasor vectors (magnitude and angle)
Frequency Deviation from nominal (Hz)
ROCOF (Hz/sec)
ine

vectors
Phasor
PMUs can report vectors for:

Currents and voltages
Individual phases (A, B, C)
Positive sequence
All of the above

Vectors can be reported as polar or Cartesian,
and as floating point or scaled integer.
52
PMU Testing Concepts
Goal: under various conditions, make sure that the

reported each PMU data message matches the
expected values for each Phasor Vector, Frequency
Deviation and ROCOF.
