  • An Accurate and Fast Start-Up Scheme for Power System Real-Time Emergency Control

    by Songhao Yang, Zhiguo Hao, Baohui Zhang, Masahide Hojo

    With the development of PMUs in power systems, the response-based real-time emergency control becomes a promising way to prevent power outages when power systems are subjected to large disturbances. The first step in the emergency control is to start up accurately and fast when needed. To this end, this paper proposes a well-qualified start-up scheme for the power system real-time emergency control. Three key technologies are proposed to ensure the effectiveness of the scheme. They are an instability index, a Critical Machines (CMs) identification algorithm and a two-layer Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) equivalence framework. The concave-convex area based instability index shows good accuracy and high reliability, which is used to identify the transient instability of the system. The CMs identification algorithm can track the changes of CMs and form the proper SMIB system at each moment. The new two-layer SMIB equivalence framework, compared with conventional ones, can significantly reduce the communication burden and improve the computation efficiency. The simulations in two test power systems show that the scheme can identify the transient instability accurately and fast to restore the system to stability after the emergency control. Besides, the proposed method is robust to measurement errors, which enhances its practicality.


  • Power System Dynamic Performance Measured by Phasor Measurement Unit

    by Takuhei Hashiguchi, Hiroyuki Ukai, Yasunori Mitani, Masayuki Watanabe, Osamu Saeki, Masahide Hojo

    In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in monitoring and analyzing dynamic performances of power systems, such as observation of power system oscillations and evaluation of machine parameters. However, in Japan, there was little observation as a whole power system. In this paper the authors present a global monitoring system of power system dynamics by using the synchronized phasor measurement of demand side. Authors have placed phasor measurement units (PMU) connected to 100 V outlets in some universities in Japan and been researching into oscillation characteristics in power systems. Phasor measurements are synchronized based on the global positioning system (GPS) and measurement data are transmitted via Internet. Some oscillative features and variation of phasor in a day, a week or a year are analyzed using the acquired data. The purpose of this paper is to show a power system dynamic performance by the use of measurement data at an unexpected disturbance and monitors a global and a local oscillation mode.
