- 5. Motivation • Synchrophasor measurement units (or PMUs), provide time-synchronized measurements that can be networked into a synchrophasor system: • This allows for real-time measurement data exchange between different asset owners and grid operators, using a broadly adopted standard for communications. • Higher resolution than traditional measurement systems used at SCADA/DMS/EMS: 30,50,60,120 Hz. • With increased penetration of renewable energy sources, it will be necessary to increase observability between T&D grids: • Grid dynamics becoming are becoming more active in the system. • Example: WT from OG&E has to be curtailed due to emerging dynamics that compromise grid operation.

- 6. Goal • It is possible to develop PMU-based applications to synthesize information from measurement data that can help in improving: Real-time monitoring, control and protection across multiple-voltage levels, and operational boundaries of different actors exchanging real-time measurements and information between transmission, distribution, generation/prosumers. Real-time operations track, analyze, make a diagnosis and to help taking preventive / corrective actions. Planning learn from measurement data and synthesized information, so to develop grid enhancements that increase hosting capacity. • The architecture of HW/SW required for this type of applications needs to be understood. Two examples: one partially distributed, and one partially centralized application.

- 13. App. 2: Real-Time Voltage Stability Assessment • Three different Power vs. Voltage (or PV) curves are calculated from the three models. • The voltage stability and instability indices are calculated from these models: o Can help to pin-point the contributions of two networks on the overall system voltage stability!
- 14. App. 2: Real-Time Voltage Stability Assessment • Real-time simulations results for aggregated load (LV network) seen from PMU22: A. All distributed generation inside MV network is disconnected B. All distributed generation inside MV network is connected A B
- 15. Conclusions • The increase of intermittent renewable sources bring technical challenges for network operation. • Synchrophasor measurements have a great potential to support the technical operation of the grid • Applications can play an important role of extracting key information about the operation of the grid • TSOs-to-DSOs interaction in operations through PMU Apps. o DSOs can enhance the way they operate by having better knowledge of the system’s performance in near real-time o TSOs can gain visibility of the phenomena at lower voltage levels, and device actions o Real-time automatic control and protection is the next big step Existing architecture, automation and system level technology not up to the task o Interoperability and Standardization: Need to develop and support a truly open market of products and services Open standards and open source software with the standard implementation would help establishing such markets.
