Recent developments in smart grid technology have spawned interest in the use of phasor measurement units to help create a reliable power system transmission and distribution infrastructure. Wide-area monitoring systems (WAMSs) utilizing synchrophasor measurements can help with understanding, forecasting, or even controlling the status of power grid stability in real-time.

Abstract:
Thermal limits of overhead transmission lines create network constraints that can result in curtailment of renewable energy generation. Thermal limits are conventionally static and based on worst-case, non-cooling ambient weather conditions, leading to under-utilization of overhead lines. Utilization can be increased and network constraints reduced by rating overhead lines dynamically, based on actual conductor temperature. Installation and maintenance of temperature and weather sensors along an overhead line is expensive and laborious. A more cost-effective solution is to derive average condu

Abstract:
An increase in demand for electric power has forced utility transmission systems to continuously operate under stressed conditions, which are close to instability limits. Operating power systems under such conditions along with inadequate reactive power reserves initiates a sequence of voltage instability points and can ultimately lead to a system voltage collapse. Significant research have been focused on time-synchronized measurements of power systems which can be used to frequently determine the state of a power system and can lead to a more robust protection, control and operation performa

Abstract:
This dissertation studies the performance of synchrophasor measurement obtained using substation Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and proposes new algorithms and test methodology to improve and verify their performance when used in power system applications. To improve the dynamic performance when exposed to sinusoidal waveform distortions, such as modulation, frequency drift, abrupt change in magnitude, etc, an adaptive approach for accurately estimating phasors while eliminating the effect of various transient disturbances on voltages and currents is proposed.

Abstract:
With the increase in complexity of modern electricity grids, the implementation of state-estimators has become a vital aspect of stability and contingency analyses for stable and secure power system operation. Transmission line reactance is an important component in the computation of state-estimators. Two models utilizing real-time synchrophasor data and ERCOT load information are proposed to compute Thevenin equivalent reactance.

Abstract:
This work presents a method for screening synchrophasor data to search for power system events of interest. The method employs prony algorithm to perform modal analysis and estimate mode amplitude, frequency, and damping ratio on the data obtained from the Texas Synchrophasor Network. The procedure uses seven different Linear Prediction Model (LPM) orders, plus a 10 second window width that slides in steps of 1 second, to minimize the possibility of overlooking events of interest. Further, the algorithm is extended to include user defined modal characteristics thresholds, window length and ste

Abstract:
Synchrophasor technology is widely available embedded in modern power grid protection, metering, and recording devices. Utilizing synchrophasor measurements, a novel algorithm is proposed for fault location in multi-terminal transmission lines. In order to implement real-time synchrophasor applications, a software platform called “PhasorEye” was developed in this research. PhasorEye facilitates collecting synchrophasor data stream, visualization of decoded data, and implementation of synchrophasor applications as analysis tools.

The research topics presented in this dissertation focus on validation of customer-level voltage synchrophasor data for transmission system analysis, detection and categorization of power system events as measured by phasor measurement units (PMUs), and identification of the influence of power system conditions (wind power, daily and seasonal load variation) on low-frequency oscillations. Synchrophasor data can provide information across entire power systems but obtaining the data, handling the large dataset and developing tools to extract useful information from it is a challenge.
