The use of synchrophasor measurements system-wide has been providing significant assistance for grid dynamic monitoring, situation awareness and reliability improvement. Frequency Monitoring Network (FNET), as an academia-run synchrophasor measurement system, utilizes a large number of Internet-connected low-cost Frequency Disturbance Recorders (FDRs) installed at the distribution level to measure power system dynamics and provide both online and off-line applications, such as event detection, oscillation modes estimation, event replay, etc. This work aims to further explore applications of the FNET measurements and utilize measurement-based method in dynamic modeling. Measurement-based dynamic reduction is an important application of synchrophasor measurement, especially considering the fact that when the system model is large, measurements provide a precise insight of system dynamics in order to determine equivalent regions. Another important application is to investigate Super Bowl games as an example to evaluate the influence of synchronized human activities on the power system. Featured characteristics drawn from the frequency data detected during the Super Bowl games are discussed. Increased penetration levels of wind generation and retirements of conventional plants have caused concerns about a decline of system inertia and primary frequency response. This work evaluates the impact of wind power on the system inertial response, simulation scenarios with different wind penetration levels are developed based on the U.S. Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC) system. A user-defined electrical control model is also introduced to provide inertia and governor control to wind generations. Except for wind generation, frequency regulation can also be achieved by supplementary control of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission line. A multi-terminal Voltage Source Converter (VSC) HVDC model is constructed to prove the effective control. In order to transmit large amount of intermittent and remote renewable energy over long distance to load centers, a potential solution is to upgrade the transmission system at a higher voltage by constructing an overlay HVDC grid on top of the original transmission system. The VSC HVDC model is utilized to build the HVDC overlay grid, and the overlay grid is tested with interconnection models. Conclusions and possible future research topics are given in the end.

Synchrophasor has been becoming the foundational element of power grid wide-area measurement system (WAMS) since first developed in 1980s. By utilizing global positioning system (GPS) time synchronization technique, synchrophasors offer highly accurate time-synchronized phasor measurements that can provide system operators with real-time information of operation status. Frequency disturbance recorders (FDRs) are installed on the distribution level to measure power system dynamics and considered as a type of single-phase synchrophasors. In this dissertation, a detailed procedure for the FDRs' calibration is summarized and a preliminary test of their dynamic performance is carried out. Moreover, this dissertation investigates the impact of GPS signal availability on the FDR's measurement accuracy and demonstrates that high-sensitivity GPS receiver provides a more reliable timing for synchrophasors. Among the various applications of synchrophasor measurements, wide-area control of renewable energy sources (such as the variable-speed wind generators and solar photovoltaic (PV) generators) for frequency regulation and inter-area oscillation damping has attracted significant attentions. In this dissertation, based on the user-defined wind/PV generator electrical control model and the 16,000-bus Eastern Interconnection (EI) dynamic model, the additional controllers for frequency regulation and inter-area oscillation damping are developed and the potential contributions of renewables to the EI system frequency regulation and inter-area oscillation damping are evaluated. Measurement-based power system modeling is another important application of synchrophasor measurements, especially considering the fact that only a limited number of transfer functions or models are critical to system stability evaluation and real-time control. In this dissertation, how to construct a measurement-based power system dynamic model is discussed. Based on a linear model structure, a concept of dynamic response estimation is proposed and its overall performance is examined. Identifying angular and voltage instability issues is also explored in this dissertation as an example of this measurement-based model's applications.

Classic power system dynamics text now with phasor measurement and simulation toolbox This new edition addresses the needs of dynamic modeling and simulation relevant to power system planning, design, and operation, including a systematic derivation of synchronous machine dynamic models together with speed and voltage control subsystems. Reduced-order modeling based on integral manifolds is used as a firm basis for understanding the derivations and limitations of lower-order dynamic models. Following these developments, multi-machine model interconnected through the transmission network is formulated and simulated using numerical simulation methods. Energy function methods are discussed for direct evaluation of stability. Small-signal analysis is used for determining the electromechanical modes and mode-shapes, and for power system stabilizer design. Time-synchronized high-sampling-rate phasor measurement units (PMUs) to monitor power system disturbances have been implemented throughout North America and many other countries. In this second edition, new chapters on synchrophasor measurement and using the Power System Toolbox for dynamic simulation have been added. These new materials will reinforce power system dynamic aspects treated more analytically in the earlier chapters. Key features: Systematic derivation of synchronous machine dynamic models and simplification.

This dissertation presents wide-area measurement-driven approaches for power system modeling and analytics. Accurate power system dynamic models are the very basis of power system analysis, control, and operation. Meanwhile, phasor measurement data provide first-hand knowledge of power system dynamic behaviors. The idea of building out innovative applications with synchrophasor data is promising. Taking advantage of the real-time wide-area measurements, one of phasor measurements' novel applications is to develop a synchrophasor-based auto-regressive with exogenous inputs (ARX) model that can be updated online to estimate or predict system dynamic responses. Furthermore, since auto-regressive models are in a big family, the ARX model can be modified as other models for various purposes. A multi-input multi-output (MIMO) auto-regressive moving average with exogenous inputs (ARMAX) model is introduced to identify a low-order transfer function model of power systems for adaptive and coordinated damping control. With the increasing availability of wide-area measurements and the rapid development of system identification techniques, it is possible to identify an online measurement-based transfer function model that can be used to tune the oscillation damping controller. A demonstration on hardware testbed may illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive and coordinated damping controller. In fact, measurement-driven approaches for power system modeling and analytics are also attractive to the power industry since a huge number of monitoring devices are deployed in substations and power plants. However, most current systems for collecting and monitoring data are isolated, thereby obstructing the integration of the various data into a holistic model. To improve the capability of utilizing big data and leverage wide-area measurement-driven approaches in the power industry, this dissertation also describes a comprehensive solution through building out an enterprise-level data platform based on the PI system to support data-driven applications and analytics. One of the applications is to identify transmission-line parameters using PMU data. The identification can obtain more accurate parameters than the current parameters in PSSĀ®E and EMS after verifying the calculation results in EMS state estimation. In addition, based on temperature information from online asset monitoring, the impact of temperature change can be observed by the variance of transmission-line resistance.
