Research Work:

Present day electrical transmission systems undergo various stressed situations, owing to the increase in demand for electricity and constraints on transmission networks. Owing to the transmission and generation limits, it is a challenging task for Transmission System Operators (TSOs), to meet the demand for electricity, while maintaining system stable and reliable. Currently available Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system effectively captures the system information. However, the slow scan   rate of the SCADA measurements makes it unfit to track the power system dynamics in real-time. The synchrophasor measurements, on the contrary, can be calculated by the Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) as fast as one phasor measurement per cycle of the system frequency. As a result of their high refresh rate, the synchrophasor based Wide Area Monitoring System (WAMS) is well suited to track the power system dynamics, and provides a great opportunity to enhance Situational Awareness (SA) of the power system.
