2016 IEEE PES General Meeting Tutorial: Use of Synchrophasors in Grid Operations - From Oscillation Source Detection to Other Use Cases

Tuesday July 19 8:00am - 5:00pm, Boston, MA

This two-part tutorial takes a progressive approach to introducing the use of synchrophasors in the daily power system operations. First part will demonstrate the path from research to operations through a specific use case - oscillation source detection and forced oscillations. Second part will give the audience a bigger picture by introducing more use cases and sharing experiences in various implementations. Oscillation Monitor, as one of the most successful applications of the synchrophasor technology, has discovered many "new" oscillatory behaviors that could not be reproduced by model based analyses. Among them, forced oscillations are the most common ones. This tutorial will define forced and natural oscillations, present source detection methods and discuss practical issues when integrating it into operating procedures. After the oscillation source example, more use cases and integration/operational experiences of using synchrophasors in managing the grid will be presented in this tutorial. The audience will learn the real problems faced by the utilities, practical considerations in integration, and values that the synchrophasor technology can bring.
