Introduction
Power GridHigh voltage electric transmission is the bulk transfer of electric energy, from
generating power plants to substations located nearer.
Transmission lines, when interconnected with each other, become high voltage
transmission networks these are typically referred to as power grids.

Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS)
Advanced measurement technology to collect information.
The WAMS technologies are comprised of two major functions: obtaining the data extracting value from it
Getting the data is accomplished with a new generation of data recording hardware that produces high quality and high volume recordings.
Data is extracted and analyzed using several signal analysis tools and algorithms.

System
Need Of WAMS
In order to avoid major regional blackouts such as those occurred in North America and Canada in 2003.
When constant monitoring applications are available immediate action can be taken if some failures are detected.

Comparison of SCADA & WAMS
SCADA can only provides steady, low sampling density, and non synchronous information of the network.
Controlling centre cannot know the dynamic operation states of the system.
Instant action cannot be taken in case of failures.
WAMS enables us to observe the power system synchronously in more elaborate time scale.
WAMS requires data to be sent and captured at very fast rate.

Components of WAMS
Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU)
Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC)
10/18/10 7Wide Area Measurement
System
They are devices which use synchronization signals from the global positioning
system (GPS) satellites and provide the phasor voltages and currents measured at a
given substation.
A phasor is a complex number that represents both the magnitude and phase angle of
the sine waves found in electricity.
PMU can have different Data Rate i.e. 60, 30, 10 frame per second.

Advantage of using GPS
It is accurate to within 1 microsecond at any location on earth.
A 1-microsecond error translates into 0.021° for a 60 Hz system and 0.018 ° for a 50Hz system and is certainly more accurate than any other application.
10/18/10 9Wide Area Measurement
System
PDC
It is a node in a system where phasor data from a number of PMUs or PDCs is correlated and fed out as a single stream to other applications.
PDC would performs the Real time monitoring , alarming , event triggering.
It performs local archiving.
It performs various quality checks on the phasor data.
10/18/10 10Wide Area Measurement
System
Operations inside PDC
Receive data from PMU's/PDC's
Align the data as per the time tag and then perform sorting
Combine all data from multiple PMU's having same time stamp t into a single frame
Perform Local archival and also send the combined frame to other applications.
PDCs are available as Hardware and Software.
10/18/10 12Wide Area Measurement
System
Time Based Aligning of Data
Algorithm 1An array of time stamped buffers is maintained.
PDC will group together measurements from the same time stamp in to a
single buffer.
In some cases the measurements may be delayed so there will be more than
one time stamped buffer.
When the buffer is full the PDC will forward it to the applications consuming
it.
Drawbacks
PDC has to wait for the buffer to be full before forwarding it to the
applications.
10/18/10 13Wide Area Measurement
System
Algorithm 2
Add a time-out per time stamped buffer.
The PDC assigns this newly arrived measurement to a new buffer.
The countdown to the time-out is initiated when the first phasor measurement of a certain time stamp arrives at the PDC.
When the time-out is up the PDC will forward the set without waiting for the rest of the phasor measurements to arrive

Standards for PMU
IEEE Std 1344
IEEE C37.118
OPC-DA / OPC-HDA - A Microsoft Windows based interface protocol that is
currently being generalized to use XML and run on non Windows computers.

10/18/10 18Wide Area Measurement
System
1)Command Frame is received by PMU in order to take a particular action.
Example “turn ON the transmission of data”.
1)Header frame is human readable/ASCII information about the PMU, the data
sources, scaling, algorithms, analog filters used, or other related information.
1)Configuration frame contains the information and processing parameters of the
PMU. Like it contains phasor, analog, frequency and digital value of PMU.
10/18/10 19Wide Area Measurement
System
3) Data frame provides information regarding phasor data and the state of the digital
inputs on each channel. It also defines the frequency, angle, over-current, under-voltage
and rate of frequency change.
