Directions of Application of Phasor Measurement Units for Control and Monitoring of Modern Power Systems: A State-of-the-Art Review

Abstract

The development of modern power systems is directly related to changes in the traditional principles of management, planning, and monitoring of electrical modes. The mass introduction of renewable energy sources and control devices based on power electronics components contributes to changing the nature of the flow of transient and quasi-established electrical modes. In this area, the problem arises of conducting a more accurate and rapid assessment of the parameters of the electrical regime using synchronized vector measurement devices. The paper presents an extensive meta-analysis of the modern applications of phasor measurement units (PMUs) for monitoring, emergency management and protection of power systems. As a result, promising research directions, the advantages and disadvantages of the existing approaches to emergency management, condition assessment, and relay protection based on PMUs are identified.

“…The synchronized signals of the GPS satellite system used by the Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) have evolved into sophisticated tools that are manufactured commercially [ 2 ]. Due to their improved accuracy and high sampling rate for measuring phase angles, PMUs have been widely accepted in electric power systems for wide-area control, protection, and monitoring [ 3 , 4 ]. The advanced applications of PMUs in power systems can improve their reliability and security [ 5 ].…”
