This article compares distinct signal-based and knowledge-based approaches often applied to process and detect events in vast amounts of data collected by phasor measurement units (PMU). The computation times and the accuracy of correct event detections are tested and evaluated in a 1−hour data file from the UT-Austin Independent Texas Synchrophasor Network with phasor quantities plus an additive noise gathered at different PMU substations. A sliding time window is considered to build a representative model of the system operating conditions on the fly and search for power system phenomena as soon as new data are available.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
