Abstract
Wide-area real-time measurement equipment, particularly phasor measurement technology, and associated communication networks make the application of advanced control techniques potentially promising. The use of wide-area measurements and broadband optical communication networks for real-time feedback control may finally be a reality. The overall goal of this research work was to develop a simulation tool to investigate the potential application of wide-area measurement, protection and control actions to improve the real-time response of power systems to otherwise damaging disturbances. Effects of communication system delay/failure on the system dynamic response can also be investigated using this tool. Dynamic responses are observed for some select cases of instability, on the IEEE 39-bus system using this tool. Wide-area control actions are then determined to stabilize the system. This stimulation system can be used for voluminous offline studies to determine such wide-area control actions for power system. Modeling the communication system in this simulation program makes it particularly attractive because the effect of communication delay/failure on dynamic response can be studied together with power system dynamics.
