Synchrophasor-based Applications to Enhance Electrical System Performance in the Netherlands

This paper deals with the essentials of synchrophasor applications for future power systems aimed at increasing system reliability and resilience. In this work, several applications are presented, covering real-time disturbance detection and blackout prevention. Firstly, an advanced big-data management platform built in real-time digital...

Synchronized Measurement Technology Supported Online Generator Slow Coherency Identification and Adaptive Tracking

In an electric power system, slow coherency can be applied to identify groups of the generating units, the rotors of which are swinging together against each other at approximately the same oscillatory frequencies of inter-area modes. This serves as a prerequisite-step of several emergency control schemes to identify power system control...

Smart DFT Based PMU Prototype

This paper presents recent innovation in the field of the Synchronized Measurement Technology. An advanced, low complexity algorithm for synchrophasor estimation and the processing platform running embedded Linux are used to develop a cost-efficient Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) prototype. The Smart Discrete Fourier Transform (SDFT) is adapted...

Synchro-Measurement Application Development Framework: An IEEE Standard C37.118.2-2011 Supported MATLAB Library

Electrical power system monitoring, protection, operation, and control schemes are undergoing significant changes toward the next generation fully automated, resilient, and self-healing grids. At present, there still exists a lack of available user-friendly tools for the synchronized measurement technology supported application design. This...
