| Summary | The electric power system is moving towards the Smart Grid (SG) development for improved reliable, secure and economic operation. Implementation of such a system requires enhanced testing and validation of smart grid technologies as well as development of new approaches to fully utilize the capabilities of these technologies. This project is focused on testing and validation of phasor based applications, testing of devices using existing real time hardware-in-the-loop digital simulation testbed, and development of new applications of phasor data. Specifically, testing of PMU based voltage stability and state estimation algorithms will be performed in real time; a new protection approach will be developed and demonstrated for dynamic protection of transformers and it will be compared to conventional protection schemes. Comparative testing and analysis of PMU, PDC, and historians will be performed using existing and enhanced testbed. |
