This document discusses smart grid technologies including wide area monitoring systems (WAMS) that use synchronized phasor measurement. A WAMS collects real-time synchronized phasor data from phasor measurement units (PMUs) across the power system and sends it to a control center. This provides situational awareness and allows operators to monitor the system in real-time. A WAMS benefits the power grid by enabling improved operations, planning, event analysis, and adaptive protection. It aims to give operators greater visibility into system conditions.

Fundamentals of Synchro
phasor Technology
Synchronized Phasor
Measurement System
A SPMS consists of three main
parts:
◦ Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU)
◦ Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC)
◦ Communication system.
PRINCIPAL APPLICATIONS AND
BENEFITS OF SYNCHROPHASOR
TECHNOLOGY
 Situationalawareness and
wide-area monitoring
 Real-time operations
 Power system planning
 Forensic event analysis
WIDE AREA SYNCHROPHASOR MEASUREMENT (OR)
MONITORING SYSTEM
WAMS
 It’s a collective technology to monitor
power system dynamics in real time,
identify system stability related weakness
and helps to design and implement
counter measures.(IEEE)
 Wide Area Monitoring System uses a
global positioning system(GPS) satellite
signal to timesynchronize from phasor
measurement units (PMUs) at important
nodes in the power system, sends real-
time phasor (angle and magnitude) data
to a Control Centre.
WAMS
Goal & Benefits
 Real time monitoring
 Post-disturbance analysis
 Adaptive protection
 Power system restoration
Goal
◦ To provide operators with real time knowledge
of system conditions
Benefits of using PMU
◦ Improve calculation for real time path flow
and optimal dispatch  Provide actual limits of
the system instead of the conservative ones
from offline calculations
Goal
◦ To reconstruct the sequence of events after
disturbance has occurredes from offline
calculations
Benefits of using PMU
◦ Easier to understand sequence of events
when using synchronized data from PMU
Goal
◦ Adapt protection to be appropriate with
system condition
Benefits of using PMU
◦ Improved backup protection
◦ Adaptive protection setting to avoid
cascading outage
Goal
• Assist system operator during restoration with
data from PMU
Benefits of using PMU
• System operator have more confidence during
restoration
• Reduce chance of recurrence of system outage
• Reduce time needed for a system restoration
