“…In this case, when a more complex communication network structure needs to be taken into account, it is possible as with other approaches to interface communication network emulators [24], [25] by routing data streams to a larger emulated communication network model. This approach, while less explored, has a great potential for the development of RT applications involving real-time deterministic computers that can be used to implement wide-area controllers [7], in particular for wide-area power oscillation damping [5], and the coordination of real-time controllers with protective relays [26].…”

“…This includes design and validation of real-time applications involving deterministic computers that can be used to implement wide-area controllers [7], in particular for wide-area power oscillation damping [5], and the coordination of real-time controllers with protective relays [26], which requires the implementation of station and process buses for data exchange. With such aim it becomes necessary to include in the architecture design and implementation, the use of actual physical devices, and ad hoc communication networks and application development hosts.…”

“…Regardless of these limitations, the availability of this laboratory is attractive for RT applications involving realtime deterministic computers that can be used to implement wide-area controllers [7], in particular for wide-area power oscillation damping [5], and the coordination of real-time controllers with protective relays [26]; development of such applications is not possible with other simulation platforms.…”

“…WACS are more complex systems which include the implementation of closed-loop wide-area controllers capable of providing reactive power compensation for mitigating power system transient stability, power system oscillations, and voltage collapse [5], [7]. Wide-Area Protection Systems (WAPS), on the other hand, involve intelligent tripping within Remedial Action Schemes (RAS) for different aims including optimized load shedding [8].…”

Abstract-At the core of the development of "Smart Transmission Grids" is the design, implementation, and testing of synchronized phasor measurement data applications that can supplement Wide-Area Monitoring, Protection, and Control Systems (WAMPAC). Nevertheless, the development of new PMU data-based WAMPAC applications has been relatively slow. The great potential of WAMPAC systems is being limited by this, and efforts are needed so that new applications can be developed. The slow rate of development of these applications is strongly related to, among other factors, the application development approach used. This article starts by discussing the needs and approaches for developing WAMPAC applications that exploit synchronized phasor measurements, and illustrates how one of these approaches has been achieved. A preliminary work carried out to develop and implement a Smart Transmission System Laboratory (SmarTS Lab), a hardware and softwarebased system for developing and analyzing "Smart Transmission Grids" paradigms and applications for WAMPAC systems, are described. The laboratory's conceptual architecture and hardware and software implementation are presented, and some of its components are described. Finally, the article illustrates proofof-concept examples of how PMU data-based applications can be developed.

1 Abstract -This article presents a software development toolkit for Wide Area Monitoring Systems. By using this development toolkit, a researcher is able to manipulate synchrophasor data in the LabView environment, which enables fast software prototyping and testing. This toolkit makes full scale testing in real-time easier for researchers, liberating them of complex and time consuming synchrophasor data handling. The toolkit exploits the IEEE C37.118.2 -2011 protocol making it independent of any specific equipment and their manufacturers. An application of the development kit is demonstrated in a laboratory environment with a specially designed experimental setup composed of a real-time digital simulator and four phasor measurement units (PMUs).

Summary A blackout is usually the result of increasing load beyond the transmission capacity of the power system. One of the main reasons for power blackouts is voltage collapse. To avoid this problem, the proper corrective measures called load shedding is required. In critical and extreme emergencies, under voltage load shedding (UVLS) is performed as a final remedy to avoid a larger scale voltage collapse. Therefore, UVLS is considered state of the art to achieve voltage stability. This review summarizes and updates the important aspects of UVLS; it also provides principle understanding of UVLS, which are critical in planning such defense schemes. Moreover, this article provides a discussion on recent state‐of‐art UVLS schemes applied in various power industries. Additionally, the pros and cons of the conventional and computational intelligence techniques are discussed. It is envisioned that this work will serve as one‐stop information for power system engineers, designers, and researches.
