Wide area protection-and_emergency_control (1)Alaa Eladl
This document discusses wide-area protection and emergency control in power systems. It describes how major disturbances can stress power systems beyond their planned operating limits due to unpredictable events. It explores using advanced wide-area monitoring and control systems based on communication and synchronization technologies to automatically detect and respond to disturbances across large regions in order to minimize their impacts. Such systems have potential to provide faster, more coordinated responses than traditional local protection schemes or human operators. The document outlines different types of power system disturbances and remedial measures needed to maintain stability.
This document presents a preliminary study on developing a Wide Area Protection Monitoring System (WAPMS) that would automatically collect and analyze data from protection devices. The proposed system would gather information through various communication protocols, analyze the data to determine fault types and locations, and generate reports with diagnoses for operators. This would provide operators a comprehensive overview of the power system's behavior during faults to help make better decisions. The system is currently being tested in Colombia and future work involves predictive analytics to identify potential protection device failures.
Wide area protection systems aim to address vulnerabilities in modern power systems. Conventional protection systems provide local views but no overall system view, and actions are uncoordinated. Wide area protection systems fill this gap by analyzing real-time measurements across wide areas to recommend control strategies. They can help increase transmission capacity and reliability by taking action to prevent contingencies from causing instability. This paper surveys applications of synchrophasor-based wide area protection, including existing systems, case studies of disturbances, and technologies enabling wide area protection implementations.
The modern-day power grid aims at providing reliable and quality power, which requires careful monitoring of the power grid against catastrophic faults.
Therefore one promising way is to provide the system a wide protection and control named as “Wide Area Measurement and Control System” /PMU is required.
Real Time and Wireless Smart Faults Detection Device for Wind Turbineschokrio
In new energy development, wind power has boomed. It is due to the proliferation of wind parks and their operation in supplying the national electric grid with low cost and clean resources. Hence, there is an increased need to establish a proactive maintenance for wind turbine machines based on remote control and monitoring. That is necessary with a real-time wireless connection in offshore or inaccessible locations while the wired method has many flaws. The objective of this strategy is to prolong wind turbine lifetime and to increase productivity. The hardware of a remote control and monitoring system for wind turbine parks is designed. It takes advantage of GPRS or Wi-Max wireless module to collect data measurements from different wind machine sensors through IP based multi-hop communication. Computer simulations with Proteus ISIS and OPNET software tools have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the studied system. Study findings show that the designed device is suitable for application in a wind park.
Cluster Computing Environment for On - line Static Security Assessment of lar...IDES Editor
The increased size of modern power systems
demand faster and accurate means for the security assessment,
so that the decisions for reliable and secure operation planning
could be drawn in a systematic manner. Large computational
overhead is the major impediment in preventing the power
system security assessment (PSSA) from on-line use. To
mitigate this problem, this paper proposes, a cluster computing
based architecture for power system static security assessment,
utilizing the tools in the open source domain. A variant of the
master/slave pattern is used for deploying the cluster of
workstations (COW), which act as the computational engine
for the on-line PSSA. The security assessment is performed
utilizing the developed composite security index that can
accurately differentiate the secure and non-secure cases and
has been defined as a function of bus voltage and line flow
limit violations. Due to the inherent parallel structure of
security assessment algorithm and to exploit the potential of
distributed computing, domain decomposition is employed for
parallelizing the sequential algorithm. Extensive
experimentations were carried out on IEEE 57 bus and IEEE
145-bus 50 machine standard test systems for demonstrating
the validity of the proposed architecture.

Voltage Stability Assessment using Phasor Measurement Units in Power Network ...Satyendra Singh
This paper presents the assessment methodology for
voltage stability using Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) with
complete system observability. For full power system
observability, the PMU placement is considered with and without
conventional power flow as well as injection measurement such
that minimum number of PMU’s is used. Data obtained by
PMU’s are used for voltage stability assessment with the help of
L-Index. As the PMU gives real time voltage and current phasors
and L-index is dependent on voltage and admittance values, thus
the L-index so obtained can be used as real time voltage stability
indicator. The case study has been carried out on IEEE-14 bus
system.

A transient current based micro grid connected power system protection scheme...IJECEIAES
Micro-grids comprise Distributed Energy Resources (DER’s) with low voltage distribution networks having controllable loads those can operate with different voltage levels are connected to the micro-grid and operated in grid mode or islanding mode in a coordinated way of control. DER’s provides clear environment-economical benefits for society and consumer utilities. But their development poses great technical challenges mainly protection of main and micro grid. Protection scheme must have to respond to both the main grid and micro-grid faults. If the fault is occurs on main grid, the response must isolate the DER’s from the main grid rapidly to protect the system loads. If the fault ocuurs within the micro-grid, the protection scheme must coordinate and isolates the least priority possible part of the grid to eliminate the fault. In order to deal with the bidirectional energy flow due to large numbers of micro sources new protection schemes are required. The system is simulated using MATLAB Wavelet Tool box and Wavelet based Multi-resolution Analysis is considered. Wavelet based Multi-resolution Analysis is used for detection, discrimination and location of faults on transmission network. This paper is discussed a transient current based micro-grid connected power system protection scheme using Wavelet Approach described on wavelet detailed-coefficients of Mother Biorthogonal 1.5 wavelet. The proposed algorithm is tested in micro-grid connected power systems environment and proved for the detection, discrimination and location of faults which is almost independent of fault impedance, fault inception angle (FIA) and fault distance of feeder line.
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are crucial for ensuring power grids supply electricity safely and reliably when combined with larger energy management systems (EMS) or distribution management systems (DMS). SCADA/EMS and SCADA/DMS systems are necessary for controlling power grids, integrating renewables, and providing universal access. World Bank support is important for establishing these systems in developing countries' power networks to ensure sustainable long-term growth.

Fuzzy Logic Method in SCADA to Optimize Network Electric Power Smart GridIJRESJOURNAL
Abstract: Smart grid is one of the solutions in terms of distribution of electricity to make it more effective and reliable. One of the main functions of the smart grid is to provide an important role in maintaining the reliability of electricity supply. Some sections in the smart grid include existing equipment at the site and the central computer. In order to convey the data from the site plant to the central computer, it needs a smart grid instrument controllers like SCADA. SCADA has a role to monitor, control, and communicate in two-ways between equipment on the site plant and the central computer. In SCADA systems, we often experience difficulty in obtaining data such as uncertainty of data and non-precision data. Then a method to overcome it is needed. In this study, Fuzzy Logic is used to detect network conditions toward the aspects of loading and the interference of overcurrent. Using four input variables with three and four linguistic value and four output variable with two linguistic value has resulted in eighty one rule base. Identification of faults was conducted by how big the DC voltage and the current. Once validated by SCADA systems and the use of Fuzzy Logic, we obtained 97.53% of the perfection of the system.

Study on the performance indicators for smart grids: a comprehensive reviewTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This paper presents a detailed review on performance indicators for smart grid (SG) such as voltage stability enhancement, reliability evaluation, vulnerability assessment, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and communication systems. Smart grids reliability assessment can be performed by analytically or by simulation. Analytical method utilizes the load point assessment techniques, whereas the simulation technique uses the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) technique. The reliability index evaluations will consider the presence or absence of energy storage elements using the simulation technologies such as MCS, and the analytical methods such as systems average interruption frequency index (SAIFI), and other load point indices. This paper also presents the difference between SCADA and substation automation, and the fact that substation automation, though it uses the basic concepts of SCADA, is far more advanced in nature.

grid with a backbone grid of ultra high voltage (UHV) power grid, with high degree of coordination at all
levels of power grid development.
The expansion of power grid scale and construction of UHV grid will lead to short current increasing.
It will affect the operations of electrical equipment and the system reliability. Network reconfiguration,
distributed power system, and development of micro-grid technology will cause problems such as
coordinating of backup protections, the system impedance changes, multi-way power flows and so on.
These will lead difficulties for conventional relay protection setting and operation.
At present, researches and applications on new technologies of Non Conventional Instrument
Transformer, clock synchronization and data synchronization, computer information, fiber
communications are deepening, which supply broader space for the protection and control development.
Therefore, with the deepening studies of smart grid, the wide-area protection is catching more and more
attention.
2. Wide-area protection and its development
Studies on WAPS are focused on two fields: one is security and stability control, and the other is relay
protection. In the security and stability control field, Bertil Ingelsson proposed that WAPS is mainly used
to prevent long-term voltage collapse. It is established on basis of the supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) system, with centralized decision-making structures, non-real-time data collection,
and slow data refresh frequency. The communication system does not require fast, real-time data
exchange. After that, WAPS is positioned as a system protection and control method between
conventional protection and SCADA/EMS. The control measurements include automatic reactive power
control, low frequency/ voltage load shedding, remote load shedding, generator shedding, system splitting,
and flexible ac transmission (FACTS), etc. Compared to the traditional strategies of stability control,
WAPS involves a wider geographical scope and requires more complex calculations in the processes of
getting information, forming control strategies, and carrying out control measures.
In the relay protection field, reference [7-8] proposed to use globe positioning system (GPS) signals for
precise time synchronization, and a dedicated fiber channel for multi-point current information
transmission, based on that, a wide-area current differential backup protection is constituted. This method
overcomes the problem that single-electrical-component-oriented current differential protections can not
provide quick backup protection.
In regard to applications, the France electricity power company EDF has established a WAPS. The
stability control system judges the system stability by phasor measurements of different areas. The goals
of WAPS are splitting the grids and shedding loads when it detects loss of transient stability.
Hydro-Quebec power company of Canada uses the phasor measurement data as the power system
stabilizer (PSS) control input for generators, and it improves the system oscillation damping. The
wide-area measurement system of WSCC includes 77 acquisition devices, 47 of which are dedicated
phasor measurement devices, 20 are phasor measurement devices based on personal computers, and the
rest are other measurement devices. The purpose of WAMS is the system disturbance monitoring, and the
main functions are real-time continuous measurement and event logging. The WAMS has been carried out
in East China Power Grid for many years. This system continuously monitors the performance of East
China Power Grid, including the unusual frequency, low frequency oscillations, and the dynamic
characteristics during and after various disturbances.
3. Key technologies of wide-area protection in the smart grid
3.1 Wide-area Measurement Technology
3. Lei Luo et al. / Energy Procedia 16 (2012) 1601 – 1606 1603
Author name / Energy Procedia 00 (2011) 000–000
The current power systems have usually set up the SCADA systems for measuring and monitoring the
system stability, and the fault recorder systems for measuring the fault transient process. However, it is
still difficult to monitor and analyze the dynamic behaviors of the whole system because SCADA can
only provide steady, low sampling density and asynchronous power network information at different
moments.
The wide-area synchronized phasor measurement technology can describe the system dynamic
behavior, which make it to have more extensive applications in the power system. Such as state estimation,
adaptive protection, on-line instability prediction and fault recorder.
Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) is the basic equipment of synchronized phasor measurement, and is
installed in selected locations in the power system. It can measure the system real-time voltage, current,
frequency, phase and amplitude information accurately, and send the information to a center for
comparison, evaluation and other treatments. The typical structure of PMU is shown in Fig.1.
Figure1. Structure of PMU
The PMU-based WAPS has an extensive application prospect. Some applications are as follows:
a) Real-time monitoring and fault recording. Recording the fault data can be used to replicate the fault
process, and assess the performance of control and protection system to improve the system security.
b) State estimation. Traditional state estimation has disadvantages of poor real-time, long calculating
time, non-synchronous remote sensing value, all of which cause state estimation deviations. After using
phase measurement, the synchronized phase values from PMU will be combined in the dispatch centers,
and the real-time accurate state values can be obtained. As a result, the state estimation accuracy can be
greatly improved.
c) Self-adaptive protection. The self-adaptive protection can automatically adjust the settings and
action equations to satisfy sensitivity and safety requirements of the new operating conditions, with
changed information including current, voltage, phase, etc.
d) Stability prediction. The systems’ operating status can be assessed by using PMU measurement data.
With this, protection and control system can improve the system transient stability.
3.2 Wide-area Communication System
Wide-area measurement technology is the basis of WAPS, thus it needs a secure and efficient
communication system. In recent years, communication technologies develop rapidly. Ethernet is
gradually replacing the industrial field bus. In many areas, synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) optical
fiber rings are laid between substations, or the substation local-area networks are connected into power
4. 1604 Lei Luo et al. / Energy Procedia 16 (2012) 1601 – 1606
Author name / Energy Procedia 00 (2011) 000–000
system wide-area networks.
According to the status of the development of wide-area communications, choice of fiber as a medium,
and the communication network in which the SDH carries ATM, can meet the communication
requirements of WAPS. Currently, when most electric power companies construct or reconstruct the
power private communication networks, the ATM modes are authorized. And the communication media
is mainly optical fiber, which lays a material foundation for WAPS.
3.3 Wide-area Information Exchange
The communication system for data information exchange is the key technology for smart grid [9].
Wide-area measurement and data exchange is the critical basis for WAPS based on smart grid. Protection
intelligent electronic device (IED) in WAPS must be able to efficiently and accurately exchange data. The
simple diagram of wide-area data information exchange is shown in Fig.2.
Figure2. Wide-area Information System Structure
Measurements send the acquired information to the substation process buses with IEC61850 protocol.
Protections get digital information of measurement units from buses and determine if the fault is happened.
If there is a fault, switchgears are ordered to trip. Wide-area information is introduced into protection
systems, and local substation information is sent to control centers, which can realize protection and
control with multiple components in this power grid.
4. Trends of wide-area protection in smart grid
4.1 Combined with Adaptive Protection
One characteristic of smart grid is self-healing and adaption, which brings up higher requirements for
selectivity, reliability, speed and sensitivity of protections [10-11]. The development of wide-area
5. Lei Luo et al. / Energy Procedia 16 (2012) 1601 – 1606 1605
Author name / Energy Procedia 00 (2011) 000–000
measurement and high-speed wide-area network technologies, makes the adaptive protection based on the
whole network information possible. With high-speed wide-area networks, WAPS can not only accurately
obtain current operating information in real time and analyze operation conditions, but also can change
protection scheme to matches the grid operation modes, and which will greatly improve the protection
performance.
4.2 Combined with Agent
Agent is a dynamic entity that can make inferences or decisions alone or under little guidance of
human, and also a computer system under certain environment [12]. Multi-agent system (MAS) can
coordinate intelligent behaviors among various agents. All the agents can feel environmental changes, and
they are able to judge each others’ working states. Such as the circuit breaker position, the protection and
operation information of the collaborators, and whether there is any fault in the line. Agents also have
skills, such as communication, comprehensive judgments, and breaking switch. When MAS coordinate
the intelligent behaviors, it also should obey some principles.
MAS mainly has two structures: hierarchical distribution and peer mode. The hierarchical distribution
structure has good local autonomy with low real-time requirements. But when the system is large and
there are lots of agents, the coordination models are complex. The MAS based on peer mode simplifies
the complexity of communication and control, it can better achieve the goal of global optimization.
WAPS has high requirements for real-time transferring of wide-area information, so the peer consultation
mode is its good choice.
4.3 Wide-area System Communication Based on IEC61850
Because of the different functions of WAPS, requirements for their communication system function are
different. With the object-oriented modeling technology and future-communication-oriented extensible
architecture, the IEC61850 protocol standard can realize the “One World, One Technology, One standard”
goal [13]. It has become the basis for realization of intelligent substations, and all the information
modeling and exchange of different intelligent substation equipment will be under the framework of
IEC61850. For WAPS, no matter manufacturers or device models are the same or not, information must
be quickly and reliably exchanged.
5. Conclusions
This paper has discussed contents, development, and key technologies of wide-area protection. With
the increased availability of data synchronization, phasor measurement, and communication technologies
applied in the smart grid, they can provide high-precision synchronous data acquisition, meet the real-time
and reliability of data transmission, and provide basic support for wide-area protection principles and
applications. There seems to be a great potential for wide-area protection to combine with adaptive
protection, multi-agent technology and IEC61850 protocol. Wide-area protection is currently a research
hotspot in power system, and significant progress has already been achieved. With the in-deep studies on
the smart grid, the wide-area protection technologies will be further developed.
