Synchrophasor-Based Power System Protection and Control Applications
Abstract: New technologies allow synchrophasors to be processed in real time. Synchrophasor systems are now used for real-time wide-area protection and control. This paper examines several ways synchrophasors are used, including:
- Voltage stability detection and correction
- Load/generator shedding
- Islanding control
- Intermittent source control and grid interconnection
|
Each application includes a discussion of how synchrophasors are a unique solution and provide benefits over traditional solutions. The paper reviews application performance, speed, data requirements, and equipment. We also discuss a future time-synchronized control solution.
