Monitoring and control of smart transmission grid based on synchronized measurements

Abstract

The monitoring and control of smart power transmission grid represents active infrastructure capable of obtaining increased transfer and distribution of electrical energy, with considerable rate of generation from renewable energy sources without compromising the stability, security and reliability of power grid in different operating conditions. The development concept of intelligent protection and control systems of the entire smart power transmission grid defines:x use of complex information and communication technology (ICT) system, x sending selected local information to a remote location where this information is processed and x implementation of accurately defined automated actions to neutralize and stop the spreading of major system disturbances. Wide area monitoring of electrical power system, which is the initial step in developing the smart power transmission grid has found its place around the world and it's expected increase of use in the daily work of system operators will result in more efficient and reliable use of ancillary functions during large scale disturbances. The intention of this paper is to point out the needs and developing possibilities of monitoring and control systems of the entire smart power transmission grid based on the System Integrity Protection Schemes (SIPS) and synchronized measurements technologies, to summarize accomplishments within ongoing projects and experience gathered worldwide, and to emphasize the need for making practical roadmap towards greater deployment of the technology. This paper will give the scheme of automatic transmission control system that aims to mitigate the possible overloading of existing transmission lines while maintaining the same rate of generation.

Transmission network angle stability protectionbased on synchrophasor data in control centre

“…Currently whole of internal 400 kV and most of 200 kV network has PMUs. PMU data collected from those devices is sufficient to get a good insight to neighboring states transmission networks and also in lower voltage transmission network (110 kV), [5].…”

Advanced wind power management: model of information flows and ICT-system interconnections in electricity supply chain

“…In order to proper operation and management of the distributed network, it is required more advanced underlying information and communication technology (ICT) systems, where the existing provision could be meet with necessary performance requirements (Yang, 2009;Westermann, 2010). A real-time development platform for the next generation power system control is needed with the view to fulfil the requirements related to operation and control of the smart power grid (Skok et al, 2011;Hussain et al, 2011). Future power systems are also considering the necessity of huge amount of information flow among different power network, especially for the sources of renewable energy.…”
