The analysis of the large systems blackouts during the last years have pointed out the need for the function of RealTime Wide Area Monitoring, Protection And Control (RT WAM PAC). Phasor Measurements (PM) has proved to be the vital source of data necessary for many applications in power system RT WAM PAC. The paper explains this new technology, the reasons behind its use and points out the role it plays in the overall view of RT WAM PAC. The recent applications of the Synchrophasors projects allover the world is highlighted. Generic and specific technical requirements for Synchrophasors Measurements are explained. The paper also illustrates, using actual recorded case from the fault recording system in the Egyptian Power Network, how the synchronized voltage phasors at different locations within the system, could be presented to the system operator during different operating states, using a software program designed specially for this purpose. A pilot project for PM in Egypt using the existing Disturbance Recorders is presented showing the benefits which could be gained from such a project.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
