    HISTORY AND BASIC THEORY

    Definition of Phasors A phasor is a way of representing a sinusoidal function Utilizing Eulers Formula, a phasor maps a sinusoidal function to the complex plane The use of phasors, as well as the introduction of the term, in electrical circuits can be traced back to a paper written in 1893 by Charles Proteus Steinmetz

    General Theory of Synchrophasors


    Within a given power system, synchrophasors allow the measurements of circuit properties. A phasor measurement unit (PMU) is used to calculate synchrophasors PMUs were invented by Dr. Arun G. Phadke and Dr. James S. Thorp at Virginia Tech in 1988. Macrodyne built the first PMU in 1992 The PMUs measure real time circuit properties with respect to a time reference provide via a GPS system. Phasors will either represent three-phase voltage or current, and therefore will require three separate electrical connections.

    Phasor Networks
    A typical phasor network consists of PMUs, PDCs (phasor data concentrators), and supervisory control and data acquisition system at a central control facility. Phasor data collected either on-site or at centralized locations utilizing data concentrator technologies. This data is sent to regional monitoring system maintained by the local independent system operator. PMUs connects to PDCs which sends data to either SCADA or WAMS servers

    Architecture of Wide Area Network


    Wide area measurements systems were first developed in 2000 by the Bonneville Power Administration. A definition of WAMS was introduced by Hauer from BPA/Pacific NW National Labs: The WAMS effort is a strategic effort to meet critical information needs of the changing power system. Typical wide area measurement system (WAMS) utilizes a reliable communication system that connects power stations, network control centers, and sub stations. Consists of three fundamental processes: data acquisition, data transmission, and data processing.

    System Design Overview


    PMU technology is designed to provides phasor (both magnitude and phase angel) information in real time. PDC is designed to synchronize and collect real time phasor data streams for use by Synchrophasor applications. The data is then transmitted to a regional monitoring system which normally maintained by the local Independent System Operator (ISO). ISO will monitor phasor data from individual PMUs. The monitoring system is a designed to provide accurate means of establishing controls for power flow from energy generation sources. Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC

    WIDE-AREA FREQUENCY MONITORING NETWORK (FNET) ARCHITECTURE AND APPLICATIONS

    Brief Ideas
    Why does the power system need WAMS? Wide-area monitoring systems (WAMS) utilizing synchrophasor measurements can help with understanding, forecasting, or even controlling the status of power grid stability in real-time. What is FNET? A power system frequency monitoring network (FNET) was first proposed in 2001 and was established in 2004. As a pioneering WAMS, it serves the entire North American power grid through advanced situational awareness techniques, such as real-time event alerts, accurate event location estimation, animated event visualization, and post event analysis. What kinds of measurement data can be collected from FNET? Three kinds of data: Frequency data, Voltage data and Angle data. The sampling rate: 10 points in one second.

    Building blocks of the FNET system

    FNET Applications FNET applications can be divided into real-time applications and non-real-time by their response time frame. Real-time applications require response within seconds or even subseconds after receiving the data, while non-real-time applications have more flexible timing requirements.

    1st Application Frequency Monitoring Interface The frequency monitoring interface module is one of the real time applications.

    Data Query Window

    2nd Application Event Trigger and Event Location


    The FNET event trigger module detects such phenomena by continuously scanning the incoming FDR records; thus, it is located in the real-time application layer. The scanning window calculates the derivative of 10 s worth of data. The event location method is based on a geometrical triangulation algorithm making use of the time difference of arrival (TDOA).

    3rd Application Interarea Oscillation Trigger


    Power system oscillations can be associated with events such as generation trips and load shedding, but they can also be ambient. The FNET system creates a separate path for treating the oscillation data. Because of the high accuracy that FNET possesses on measuring system dynamics, power system oscillations can be monitored from both FNET phase angle recordings and FNET frequency recordings.

    4th Application Interarea Oscillation Modal Analysis


    The interarea oscillation modal analysis module starts functioning after receiving oscillation data from the oscillation trigger. The matrix pencil approach, because of its robustness to noise, is used as the signal decomposition tool for modal analysis.

    5th Application Event Visualization


    Frequency disturbance events have a geographically distributed impact, as the electromechanical waves propagate throughout the power system in time and space. It is therefore beneficial for the grid operators to have intuitive visualization of the cascading response.

    5th Application

    6th Application Web Service


    The FNET Web service integrates visualization components such as a frequency table display, map display, and map gradient. It provides an educational platform for researchers, grid operators, and regulators to better understand the power system status in a wide-area perspective.

    Summary
    The FNET system was originally built as a power grid wide area monitoring system specifically applied to frequency monitoring. The FNET systems potential for power system dynamic monitoring, stability estimation, real-time control and smart grid solutions are currently being explored.
