In modern power systems, the Rate-of-Change-of-Frequency (ROCOF) may be largely employed in Wide Area Monitoring, Protection and Control (WAMPAC) applications. However, a standard approach towards ROCOF measurements is still missing. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) deployment in ROCOF-based applications, with a specific focus on Under-Frequency Load-Shedding (UFLS). For this analysis, we select three state-of-the-art window-based synchrophasor estimation algorithms and compare different signal models, ROCOF estimation techniques and window lengths in datasets inspired by real-world acquisitions. In this sense, we are able to carry out a sensitivity analysis of the behavior of a PMU-based UFLS control scheme. Based on the proposed results, PMUs prove to be accurate ROCOF meters, as long as the harmonic and inter-harmonic distortion within the measurement pass-bandwidth is scarce. In the presence of transient events, the synchrophasor model looses its appropriateness as the signal energy spreads over the entire spectrum and cannot be approximated as a sequence of narrow-band components. Finally, we validate the actual feasibility of PMU-based UFLS in a real-time simulated scenario where we compare two different ROCOF estimation techniques with a frequency-based control scheme and we show their impact on the successful grid restoration.

The power system frequency is important for the system overall stability. However, there does not exist a single measurement point of the system frequency due to the distributed nature of the system inertia and the small inconsistency of different generator rotor electrical speeds in one synchronized system. This paper proposed a new approach to calculate the system center-of-inertia (COI) frequency and the rate-of-change-of-frequency (RoCoF) more accurately using PMU data at multiple locations. The COI frequency and the RoCoF value were further used to assist fast estimation of the imbalance MW amount of a frequency event. Test results using actual measurements in the U.S. Eastern Interconnection system validated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Taking full advantage of synchrophasors provided by GPS-based wide-area measurement system (WAMS), a novel VBpMKL-based transient stability assessment (TSA) method through multifeature fusion is proposed in this paper. First, a group of classification features reflecting the transient stability characteristics of power systems are extracted from synchrophasors, and according to the different stages of the disturbance process they are broken into three nonoverlapped subsets; then a VBpMKL-based TSA model is built using multifeature fusion through combining feature spaces corresponding to each feature subset; and finally application of the proposed model to the IEEE 39-bus system and a real-world power system is demonstrated. The novelty of the proposed approach is that it improves the classification accuracy and reliability of TSA using multifeature fusion with synchrophasors. The application results on the test systems verify the effectiveness of the proposal.
This paper presents a new solution for reconstructing missing data in power system measurements. An Enhanced Denoising Autoencoder (EDAE) is proposed to reconstruct the missing data through the input vector space reconstruction based on the neighbor values correlation and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. The proposed LSTM-EDAE is able to remove the noise, extract principle features of the dataset, and reconstruct the missing information for new inputs. The paper shows that the utilization of neighbor correlation can perform better in missing data reconstruction. Trained with LSTM networks, the EDAE is more effective in coping with big data in power systems and obtains a better performance than the neural network in conventional Denoising Autoencoder. A random data sequence and the simulated Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) data of power system are utilized to verify the effectiveness of the proposed LSTM-EDAE.
In this paper, a phasor measurement unit (PMU)-based wide-area damping control method is proposed to damp the interarea oscillations that threaten the modern power system stability and security. Utilizing the synchronized PMU data, the proposed almost model-free approach can achieve an effective damping for the selected modes using a minimum number of synchronous generators. Simulations are performed to show the validity of the proposed wide-area damping control scheme.
Power system state estimation is heavily subjected to measurement error, which comes from the noise of measuring instruments, communication noise, and some unclear randomness. Traditional weighted least square (WLS), as the most universal state estimation method, attempts to minimize the residual between measurements and the estimation of measured variables, but it is unable to handle the measurement error. To solve this problem, based on random matrix theory, this paper proposes a data-driven approach to clean measurement error in matrix-level. Our method significantly reduces the negative effect of measurement error, and conducts a two-stage state estimation scheme combined with WLS. In this method, a Hermitian matrix is constructed to establish an invertible relationship between the eigenvalues of measurements and their covariance matrix. Random matrix tools, combined with an optimization scheme, are used to clean measurement error by shrinking the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix. With great robustness and generality, our approach is particularly suitable for large interconnected power grids. Our method has been numerically evaluated using different testing systems, multiple models of measured noise and matrix size ratios.
