Synchronized sampling uses for real-time monitoring and control

Abstract

Real-time monitoring of power system conditions can help control center operators maintain adequate situational awareness. This paper addresses a set of visualization tools for future generation of switchable networks, with a particular emphasis on visualization used in the control center. While synchrophasor measurements are proven to enhance awareness of system operators, it remains unresolved how user interfaces that will aid operators in making decisions should be incorporated in existing interfaces for SCADA functions. This paper is aimed at developing an integrated visualization tool that will seamlessly incorporate time correlated information from synchrophasor measurements, SCADA and nonoperational data. This will result in intelligent operator tools for alarm processing, fault analysis and breaker switching management, which will increase the effectiveness of power system visualizations and reduce the time needed to make decisions.

Model Verification of Fixed Series Compensation Devices Using Synchronized Data

“…With advances in measurement technology, time-stamped sampled data recorded by IEDs [10] are now available [11]. Several papers [12]- [16] assume such synchronized timedomain data to be available from both ends of a transmission line.…”
