The phase angle error is measured as a function of time in microseconds at four points on the IEEE 14-bus system. When the 1 pps Global Positioning System (GPS) signal to the PMU is lost, sampling of voltage signals on the power grid is done at different rates as it is a function of time. The relationship between the PMU measured signal phase angle and the sampling rate is established by injecting a constant amplitude signal at two different points on the grid. In the simulation, 64 cycles per second is used as the reference while 24 cycles per second is used to represent the fault condition. Results show that a change in the sampling rate from 64 bps to 24 bps in the PMUs resulted in phase angle error in the voltage signals measured by the PMU at four VI Measurement points. The phase angle error measurement that was determined as a time function was used to determine the TVE. Results show that (TVE) was more than 1% in all the cases.展开更多

The SSOs may cause significant harm to generator sets and power systems;thus, online monitoring and accurate alarms for power systems are crucial for their safe and stable operation. Phasor measurement units(PMUs) can realize the dynamic real-time monitoring of power systems. Based on PMU phasor measurements, this study proposes a method for SSO online monitoring and alarm implementation for the main station of a PMU. First, fast Fourier transform frequency spectrum analysis is performed on PMU current phasor amplitude data to obtain subsynchronous frequency components. Second, the support vector machine learning algorithm is trained to obtain the amplitude threshold and subsequently filter out safe components and retain harmful ones. Finally, the adaptive duration threshold is determined according to frequency susceptibility, amplitude attenuation, and energy accumulation to decide whether to transmit an alarm signal. Experiments based on field data verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

This type of faults is difficult to detect by over current protection relays because of low fault current. In this paper, an index based on phasors change is proposed for HIF detection. The phasors are measured by PMU to obtain the square summation of errors. Two types of data are used for error calculation. The first one is sampled data and the second one is estimated data. But this index is not enough to declare presence of a HIF. Therefore another index introduces in order to distinguish the load switching from HIF. Second index utilizes 3rd harmonic current angle because this number of harmonic has a special behaviour during HIF. The verification of the proposed method is done by different simulation cases in EMTP/MATLAB.展开更多

In the circumstances, a concept of Virtual Synchronous Machine (VSM) is proposed, where the self-commutated power converters are emulating synchronous generators. This paper describes a converter control to contribute to enhancing the synchronizing torque. The proposed control is similar to the VSM but it simply realizes active power trades among power generation units including converter-based generators by modulating phase angles of their output voltages. Therefore, it can provide an effective support to regulate the system frequency where the total rated power of the converter-based generators increases as much as the one of conventional rotating generators like a microgrid. This paper especially focuses on its robustness where the number of converter-based generators is increased or they are dispersed in the power network. The effectiveness is verified by simulation study based on instantaneous values.展开更多

In case of more than one solution, a strategy of analysis of the design matrix rank is applied to determine the solution with the lower number of critical measurements. In the proposed method of placement, modifications are made in the crossover and mutation genetic operators, as well as in the formation of the subpopulation, and are considered restrictive hypotheses in the search space to improve the performance in solving the optimization problem. Simulations are performed using the IEEE 14-bus, IEEE 30-bus and New England 39-bus test systems. The proposed method is applied on the IEEE 118-bus test system considering the presence of observable zones formed by conventional measurements.展开更多

However, the wide-area deployments of the renewable energy sources and the high voltage direct current(HVDC) transmission bring a large number of inter-harmonics to the power grid, which may result in further power system security problems. The impacts of inter-harmonics on synchrophasor measurements are revealed. This paper derives the phasor expressions of the signal, which contains the fundamental component and the inter-harmonics. It is found that the inter-harmonics will lead to the subsynchronous oscillation of the phasor measurements. The frequency transmutation principle between the harmonic and the phasor oscillation is revealed. Then, the field PMU data recorded during a subsynchronous oscillation, which occurred in an area of China with a high concentration of wind farms and HVDC transmission lines, are studied. A geographical wiring diagram with the subsynchronous oscillation distribution depicts the severe consequences of the inter-harmonics. In addition, the correctness of the theoretical derivation and the possibility of the inter-harmonics monitoring are verified.展开更多

T...The interactions between randomly fluctuating power outputs from photovoltaic(PV) at the DC side and background voltage distortions at the AC side could generate interharmonics in the PV grid-connected system(PVGS). There is no universal method that can reveal the transmission mechanism of interharmonics and realize accurate calculation in different scenarios where interharmonics exist in the PVGS. Therefore, extended dynamic phasors(EDPs) and EDP sequence components(EDPSCs) are employed in the interharmonic analysis of the PVGS. First, the dynamic phasors(DPs) and dynamic phasor sequence components(DPSCs) are extended into EDPs and EDPSCs by selecting a suitable fundamental frequency other than the power frequency. Second, an interharmonic analysis model of the PVGS is formulated as a set of state space equations. Third, with the decoupling characteristics of EDPSCs,generation principles and interactions among the interharmonics in the PVGS are presented by the sequence components,and its correctness is verified by simulation and experiment.The presented model can be used to accurately calculate the interharmonics generated in the PVGS both at the AC and DC sides. Because of the decoupling among the EDPSCs, the set of state space equations can effectively describe the principle.展开更多

文摘This paper investigates the effect of the Phase Angle Error of a Constant Amplitude Voltage signal in determining the Total Vector Error (TVE) of the Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) using MATLAB/Simulink. The phase angle error is measured as a function of time in microseconds at four points on the IEEE 14-bus system. When the 1 pps Global Positioning System (GPS) signal to the PMU is lost, sampling of voltage signals on the power grid is done at different rates as it is a function of time. The relationship between the PMU measured signal phase angle and the sampling rate is established by injecting a constant amplitude signal at two different points on the grid. In the simulation, 64 cycles per second is used as the reference while 24 cycles per second is used to represent the fault condition. Results show that a change in the sampling rate from 64 bps to 24 bps in the PMUs resulted in phase angle error in the voltage signals measured by the PMU at four VI Measurement points. The phase angle error measurement that was determined as a time function was used to determine the TVE. Results show that (TVE) was more than 1% in all the cases.

The origin of PMU is traced to the work on developing computer based distance relay using symmetrical component theory. PMUs evolved from a portion of this relay architecture. The need for synchronization using global positioning system(GPS) is discussed, and the wide area measurement system(WAMS) utilizing PMU signals is described. A number of applications of this technology are discussed, and an account of WAMS activities in many countries around the world are provided.

文摘Due to the increasing development of renewables in power systems,the requirements for phasor measurement units(PMUs)becomes higher.A PMU calibrator is an important tool to test and calibrate PMUs to ensure their measurement performance.This device can provide accurate reference values for error analysis of PMUs.In this paper,a phasor algorithm with low computational complexity and high accuracy is proposed for the PMU calibrator.This method reduces the processor requirements and development costs of the calibrator,thereby facilitating its popularization.At first,an enhanced discrete Fourier transform(DFT)method is put forward:1)the frequency response of the windowed DFT method is analyzed to reveal its large measurement errors under dynamic conditions;2)the parameter requirements of the DFT window that is regarded as a lowpass filter are analyzed,and thus a lowpass filter with better filtering performance is designed as the window coefficients to improve the estimation accuracy.Then,based on the enhanced DFT algorithm,a calibrator algorithm framework consisting of two-stage filters and a signal recognition module is established.This algorithm can consider the anti-interference ability and dynamic measurement accuracy at a low reporting rate.Simulation and experimental test results show that the proposed calibrator algorithm provides high-accuracy measurements of the static and dynamic signals with low computational complexity.
文摘The characterization of sinusoidal signals with time varying amplitude and phase is useful and applicable for many fields.Therefore several algorithms have been suggested to estimate main aspects of these signals.Within no standard approach to test the properties of these algorithms,it seems to be helpful to discuss a large class of algorithms according to their properties.In this paper,six methods of estimating dynamic phasor have been reviewed and discussed which three of them are based on least square and others are based on Kalman filter.Taylor expansion is used as a first step and continued with least square or Kalman filter in accordance with the proposal observer of each method.The theoretical processes of these methods are briefly clarified.The characterizations have been made by some tests in time and frequency domains.The tests include amplitude step,phase step,frequency step,frequency response,total vector error,transient monitor,noise,sample number,computation time,harmonic and DC offset which build a framework to compare the different methods.

文摘The interactions between randomly fluctuating power outputs from photovoltaic(PV) at the DC side and background voltage distortions at the AC side could generate interharmonics in the PV grid-connected system(PVGS). There is no universal method that can reveal the transmission mechanism of interharmonics and realize accurate calculation in different scenarios where interharmonics exist in the PVGS. Therefore, extended dynamic phasors(EDPs) and EDP sequence components(EDPSCs) are employed in the interharmonic analysis of the PVGS. First, the dynamic phasors(DPs) and dynamic phasor sequence components(DPSCs) are extended into EDPs and EDPSCs by selecting a suitable fundamental frequency other than the power frequency. Second, an interharmonic analysis model of the PVGS is formulated as a set of state space equations. Third, with the decoupling characteristics of EDPSCs,generation principles and interactions among the interharmonics in the PVGS are presented by the sequence components,and its correctness is verified by simulation and experiment.The presented model can be used to accurately calculate the interharmonics generated in the PVGS both at the AC and DC sides. Because of the decoupling among the EDPSCs, the set of state space equations can effectively describe the principle.
文摘Large interconnected power systems are usually subjected to natural oscillation(NO)and forced oscillation(FO).NO occurs due to system transient response and is characterized by several oscillation modes,while FO occurs due to external perturbations driving generation sources.Compared to NO,FO is considered a more severe threat to the safe and reliable operation of power systems.Therefore,it is important to locate the source of FO so corrective actions can be taken to ensure stable power system operation.In this paper,a novel approach based on two-step signal processing is proposed to characterize FO in terms of its frequency components,duration,nature,and the location of the source.Data recorded by the Phasor Measurement Units(PMUs)in a Wide Area Monitoring System(WAMS)is utilized for analysis.As PMU data usually contains white noise and appears as multi-frequency oscillatory signal,the first step is to de-noise the raw PMU data by decomposing it into a series of intrinsic mode functions(IMF)using Improved Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise(ICEEMDAN)technique.The most appropriate IMF containing the vital information is selected using the correlation technique.The second step involves various signal processing and statistical analysis tools such as segmented Power Spectrum Density(PSD),excess kurtosis,cross PSD etc.to achieve the desired objectives.The analysis performed on the simulated two-area four-machine system,reduced WECC-179 bus 29 machine system,and the real-time power system PMU data set from ISO New England,demonstrates the accuracy of the proposed method.The proposed approach is independent of complex network topologies and their characteristics,and is also robust against measurement noise usually contained in PMU data.
