Data-Driven Synchrophasor Analysis for Wide-Area Power Systems

Objectives
  • Needs for advanced data-driven monitoring techniques are rapidly increasing because power systems have become more highly nonlinear time-varying systems owing to the implementation of various new technologies such as power electronics and renewable energy sources.
  • The conventional model-based monitoring techniques using supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system based can cause errors because the SCADA data has low resolution and is not time-synchronized.
  • Synchrophasor technology provides directly measured (not estimated) dynamic information of power system dynamics due to global positioning systems (GPS) based time-synchronization and much higher resolution (30-120 Hz) than that of SCADA (0.25-0.5 Hz).
  • In this research, advanced data-driven monitoring techniques using data mining techniques and artificial intelligence (AI) are developed for real-time monitoring of wide-area power systems.

  • Event detection method based on wavelet analysis of sycnrophasor data
  • Event localization technique by clustering power systems (zonal analysis)

Data Management of Smart Grid Data

Objectives
  • Due to the much higher resolution of synchrophasor data (30-120 Hz) than that of SCADA (0.25-0.5 Hz), the needs for efficient management techniques to deal with the huge volume of power system big data are increasing.
  • An efficient data compression technique that are fitted to synchrophasor data is investigated because the conventional data compression algorithm cannot be directly applied.
  • Moreover, an AI-based algorithm of real-time recovering missing entries is investigated to supplement the successful application of synchrophasor data-driven applications.
  • In addition, an algorithm for detecting cyber-attacked synchrophasor data is investigated to secure reliable data quality.
Research Highlights
