“…A PSS uses locally available signals and might not be very effective at damping inter-area modes with poor local observability [3] [4]. Wide-area control systems, as tested in demonstration projects in Norway [2] and China [5], have extended the control system of an existing device to receive and use synchrophasor (IEEE C37.118) data.…”

Abstract-Prototype Wide-Area Power system Oscillation Damping (WAPOD) controllers using synchrophasor data have been proposed, developed and tested in field demonstration projects. However, the development and testing process of these control systems has been confined to a few specific cases, the details of which have not been thoroughly reported in available literature. This paper details the development, construction and implementation of a real-time, Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test set-up for such a control system. A general purpose, phasorbased control algorithm is deployed on a Compact Reconfigurable Input/Output (cRIO) controller from National Instruments. The complete, closed-loop experimental set-up, the hardware used and the rationale behind different design choices are also documented. As this test-set-up uses IEEE C37.118 data over a TCP/IP network, the complete, real-time data path is examined. A realtime HIL test with the implemented controller is also presented and results are analysed.

“…These oscillations involve the generators of one synchronous area oscillating against those of another area and are typically between 0.1-2 Hz in frequency. The fact that these modes are poorly damped [2] presents a danger to power systems with interconnections used for purposes such as power exchange.…”

“…In this case, when a more complex communication network structure needs to be taken into account, it is possible as with other approaches to interface communication network emulators [24], [25] by routing data streams to a larger emulated communication network model. This approach, while less explored, has a great potential for the development of RT applications involving real-time deterministic computers that can be used to implement wide-area controllers [7], in particular for wide-area power oscillation damping [5], and the coordination of real-time controllers with protective relays [26].…”

“…This includes design and validation of real-time applications involving deterministic computers that can be used to implement wide-area controllers [7], in particular for wide-area power oscillation damping [5], and the coordination of real-time controllers with protective relays [26], which requires the implementation of station and process buses for data exchange. With such aim it becomes necessary to include in the architecture design and implementation, the use of actual physical devices, and ad hoc communication networks and application development hosts.…”

“…WACS are more complex systems which include the implementation of closed-loop wide-area controllers capable of providing reactive power compensation for mitigating power system transient stability, power system oscillations, and voltage collapse [5], [7]. Wide-Area Protection Systems (WAPS), on the other hand, involve intelligent tripping within Remedial Action Schemes (RAS) for different aims including optimized load shedding [8].…”

Abstract-At the core of the development of "Smart Transmission Grids" is the design, implementation, and testing of synchronized phasor measurement data applications that can supplement Wide-Area Monitoring, Protection, and Control Systems (WAMPAC). Nevertheless, the development of new PMU data-based WAMPAC applications has been relatively slow. The great potential of WAMPAC systems is being limited by this, and efforts are needed so that new applications can be developed. The slow rate of development of these applications is strongly related to, among other factors, the application development approach used. This article starts by discussing the needs and approaches for developing WAMPAC applications that exploit synchronized phasor measurements, and illustrates how one of these approaches has been achieved. A preliminary work carried out to develop and implement a Smart Transmission System Laboratory (SmarTS Lab), a hardware and softwarebased system for developing and analyzing "Smart Transmission Grids" paradigms and applications for WAMPAC systems, are described. The laboratory's conceptual architecture and hardware and software implementation are presented, and some of its components are described. Finally, the article illustrates proofof-concept examples of how PMU data-based applications can be developed.
