“…As the figure shows, the current signals are passed through the current amplifiers before being fed to the PMUs. Syncrophasors are then sent to a Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC) which streams the data over TCP/IP to a workstation computer holding Statnett's Synchrophasor Development Kit (S 3 DK) [16], which provides a real-time data mediator that parses the PDC data stream and makes it available to KF application in the LabVIEW environment. The KF application is implemented based on the modified KF method, proposed in Section II.B.…”

Permanent link to this version:http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-192943 1  Abstract--Due to the increase of generation sources in distribution networks, it is becoming more and more complex to develop and maintain models of these networks. Network operators need to determine reduced models of distribution networks to be used in grid management functions. This paper presents a novel method that synthesizes steady state models of unbalanced active distribution networks by the use of dynamic measurements (time series) from PMUs. As PMU measurements may contain errors and bad data, the paper presents the application of a Kalman Filter technique for real-time data processing. In addition, PMU data captures the power system's response at different time-scales, which are generated by different types of power system events; the presented Kalman Filter has been improved to extract the steady state component of the PMU measurements to be fed to the steady state model synthesis application. Performance of the proposed methods has been assessed by real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulations on a sample distribution network.Index Terms-active distribution network, Kalman Filter (KF), model synthesis, PMU.

“…However, no software was available that could run on the cRIO and parse the synchrophasor stream. Software [17] was, however, available and could perform this function on a desktop computer. The solution implemented here thus has a desktop computer running a multi-tasking operating system to extract data from the synchrophasor stream.…”

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.
