State estimators are used to monitor the operating states of power systems in modern EMS. It iteratively calculates the voltage profile of the currently operating power system with voltage, current, and power measurements gathered from the entire system. All the measurements are usually assumed to be obtained simultaneously. It is practically impossible, however, to maintain the synchronism of the measurement data. Recently, phasor measurements synchronized via satellite are used for the operation of these power systems. This paper describes the modified state estimator used to support the processing of synchronized phasor measurements. Synchronized phasor measurements are found to provide synchronism of measurement data and improve the accuracy/redundancy of the measurement data for state estimation. The details of the developed state estimation program and some numerical results of operation are presented.

The impedance matching circuit design technique based on the phasor plot introduced in this paper is based on the impedance triangle of electric circuit. It is a technique that designs through the construction of a phasor figure using the values given to the matching circuit design. The design pattern is based on L-type, inverted L-type, T-type, and 𝜋-type, and unknown reactance elements are determined through phasor shapes. In this paper, using a design by phasor plot, we design several cases, such as the case where the input and output ports are pure resistance and have reactance. It was confirmed that the design value was verified by serial-parallel equivalent conversion to achieve matching. This design technique can immediately grasp the phase or size of input/output power, so it is expected to be applied mainly in a low frequency band due to rapid design change and application.

In-phase control and energy-optimized control are the two major control strategies proposed for series power quality controllers (SPQC). However quantitative analysis and comparison between these two control strategies is quite limited in previous publications. In this paper, an extensive quantitative analysis is carried out on these two control strategies through phasor diagram approach, and a detailed quantitative comparison is conducted accordingly. The load current is used as the reference phasor, and this leads to a simpler and clearer phasor diagram for the quantitative relationship. Subsequently detailed analysis of SPQC using in-phase control and energy-optimized control are provided respectively, under different modes both for under voltage/voltage sag and for over voltage/voltage swell. The closed form analytic expressions and the curves describing SPQC compensation characteristics are obtained. The detailed system power flow is figured out for each mode, and the detailed quantitative comparison between the two control strategies is then carried out. The comparison covers several aspects of SPQC, such as required compensating voltage magnitude, required capacity of energy storage component, and maximal ride-through time. In the end, computer simulation and prototype experimental results are shown to verify the validity of all the analysis and the result of the comparison.

This paper presents an analytic derivation of phase measurement error. The analysis derives the measurement error caused by the finite-bit quantization of both input signals and twiddle factors used in the recursive implementation of the phasor measurement algorithm. The derivation is based on the statistical exploration of the error dynamic equations. The effect of frequency deviation and the number of DFT points are also included in the study. The analysis results are verified with the data obtained from the computer simulation by widely varying the values of error causing factors.

It is important to measuring and monitoring about state vectors of power system for precise operation control. All state vectors cannot be measured because it is economically disadvantageous, so that some state vectors are determined using state estimator. Determination of observability is a important precondition of power system state estimation because state estimation can be performed when given power system is observable. Recently as time-synchronization technique progress, using the PMU(Phasor Measurement Unit), state vector can be measured directly so that voltage phasor and current phasor measurements can be used for power system estimation. In this paper, observability algorithm is proposed to determinate the observability with real/reactive injection power measurements and real/reactive lineflow power measurements of existing measurement system and with phasor measurements of PMU. The jacobian matrix is newly composed for state estimation with measurements of added PMU, and state estimation is performed with least square estimatior. Comparison between state estimation result of existing measurement system and that of measurement system added PMU is presented.

This paper presents optimal placement of minimal set of Phasor Measurement Units (PMU's) and observability analysis of the network with PMU's. In order to find a observable system, a symbolic method which directly assigns an appropriate symbol for measurement or pseudo-measurement to every entry of node-branch incidence matrix is proposed. It is much simpler and easier to analyze the observability of the network with PMU's than the conventional ones. For the optimal PMU placement problem, two approaches which are based on a modified Simulated-Annealing (SA) method and a Direct Combination method are proposed. Some case studies with IEEE sample system are made to show the performance of the proposed methods are almost alike and more effective than the conventional simulated-annealing method. It is also shown that the Direct Combination method is more effective than the modified simulated-annealing one in the sense of computation burden. The results of this study showed also that the accuracy of power system estimation and system observability can be improved the proposed PMU placements.

Modern power system is operated and managed in closed network environment with treating a great variety of data, and requirement of real time power system data is more increasing. However, it is difficult for operators to fast evaluate the condition of power system using only isolation network system such as SCADA or EMS regarding unexpecting situations occurring. Recent technology achievement in areas of distributed computing, networking high speed communications and digital control as well as the availability of accurate GPS time source are rapidly becoming the enabling factors for the development of a new generation of real time power grid monitoring tools. In this paper, architecture of WAMAC which is the wide area monitoring and control system not only to control but also to monitoring in real time is proposed and the plan of integration interface with legacy system such as EMS for providing power system analysis base data effectively is suggested.

This paper presents a method to estimate p.d.f.(probability density function) of harmonic phasor voltage. Because the quantity of harmonics is not fixed, stochastic analysis of harmonics is needed. Because it is impossible to obtain p.d.f. of voltage from p.d.f. of current directly, the moments of voltage and current are used. Firstly, the moments of current is calculated from p.d.f. of current. Secondly, the moments of voltage are calculated from the moments of current using the linearity of the moments. Finally, p.d.f. of voltage is estimated from the moments of voltage using Gram-Charlier Type A Series. [1] The moments of the p.d.f. obtained by the series and of the true p.d.f. is same up to given finite moments. Because current and voltage of harmonics are represented as not instantaneous values but phasors, the estimated value can be compared with the measured value and harmonic phasor voltage can be analyzed when the p.d.f. of phase is nonuniform as well as uniform.

This paper presents a new numerical algorithm for fault location estimation and for faults recognition based on the synchronized phasors. The proposed algorithm is based on the synchronized phasor measured from the synchronized PMUs installed at two-terminals of the transmission lines. In order to discriminate the fault type, the arc voltage wave shape is modeled numerically on the basis of a great number of arc voltage records obtained by transient recorder. From the calculated arc voltage amplitude it can make a decision whether the fault is permanent or transient. The results of the proposed algorithm testing through computer simulation are given.
