The present study explained the phenomenon that low frequency oscillation is synchronized with discrete data obtained from a wide area system, and a sync search method. When a disturbance occurs in an power system, various controllers operate in order to maintain synchronization. If the system's damping is poor, low frequency oscillations continue for a long time and the oscillations are synchronized with one another at specific frequency. The present study estimated dominant modes, magnitude and phase of signals by applying parameter estimation methods to discrete signals obtained from an power system, and performed sync search among wide area signals by comparing the estimated data. Sync search was performed by selecting those with the same frequency and damping constant from dominant oscillation modes included in a large number of signals, and comparing their magnitude and phase. In addition, we defined sync indexes in order to indicate the degree of sync between areas in a wide area system. Furthermore, we proposed a wide area sync search method by normalizing mode magnitude in discrete data obtained from critical generator of the wide area. By applying the sync search method and sync indexes proposed in this study to two area systems, we demonstrated that sync scanning can be performed for discrete signals obtained from power systems.

Generally, remote sensing is useful to obtain the quantitative and qualitative information of a wide area. For monitoring earth resources and environment, land cover classification of remotely sensed data are needed over increasingly larger area. The objective this study is to propose the process for land cover classification method over a wide area using multi-scene satellite data. Land cover of Korean peninsula was extracted from a Landsat TM and ETM+ mosaic created from 23 scenes at 100-meter resolution. Well-known techniques that used to general image processing and classification are applied to this wide area classification. It is expected that these process is very useful to promptly and efficiently grasp of small scale spatial information such as national territorial information.

This paper presents an adaptive wide-area damping controller (WADC) based on generalized predictive control (GPC) and model identification for damping the inter-area low frequency oscillations in large-scale inter-connected power system. A recursive least-squares algorithm (RLSA) with a varying forgetting factor is applied to identify online the reduced-order linearlized model which contains dominant inter-area low frequency oscillations. Based on this linearlized model, the generalized predictive control scheme considering control output constraints is employed to obtain the optimal control signal in each sampling interval. Case studies are undertaken on a two-area four-machine power system and the New England 10-machine 39-bus power system, respectively. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive WADC not only can damp the inter-area oscillations effectively under a wide range of operation conditions and different disturbances, but also has better robustness against to the time delay existing in the remote signals. The comparison studies with the conventional lead-lag WADC are also provided.

The large-scale power system blackouts have indicated that conventional protection relays that based on local signals cannot fit for modern power grids with complicated setting or heavily loaded-flow transfer. In order to accurately detect various faulted lines and improve the fault-tolerance of wide-area protection, a novel multi-section weighed fault matching and detecting algorithm is proposed. The real protection vector (RPV) and expected section protection vectors (ESPVs) for five fault sections are constructed respectively. The function of multi-section weighed fault matching is established to calculate the section fault matching degrees between RPV and five ESPVs. Then the fault degree of protected line based on five section fault degrees can be obtained. Two fault detecting criterions are given to support the higher accuracy rate of detecting fault. With the enumerating method, the simulation tests illustrate the correctness and fault-tolerance of proposed algorithm. It can reach the target of 100% accuracy rate under 5 bits error of wide-area protections. The influence factors of fault-tolerance are analyzed, which include the choosing of wide-area protections, as well as the topological structures of power grid and fault threshold.

Recently, after Wide Area Outage of the North-Eastern United States occurred, many countries started to be concerned about WAMS (Wide Area Monitoring System), and Korean power system also experienced Wide Area outage according to typhoon Mae-Mi, and Haenam-Jeju HVDC line fault. Since it is too difficult to detect a symptom based on SCADA or EMS, a defense system of electric power infrastructure has required. In this research, the designed and developed system processes the time synchronized real time power system information based on GPS and shows the 2D/3D monitoring viewer using the phasor data and the results of three algorithms.

A regular virtual topology requires little processing time for routing purposes which may be a desirable property for high-speed networks. Asymmetric bilayered ShuffleNet, proposed by us as a virtual topology, can be more efficient to be used to design a wide-area optical network compared to ShuffleNet. In this paper, asymmetric bilayered ShuffleNet is imbedded on a given physical topology with the objective of minimizing the total message delay.
