Wide Area Monitoring, Control, and Protection of Power Systems with Integrated Large-Scale Renewables addresses the emerging stability and security challenges of modern power systems driven by high penetration of distributed and aggregated renewable energy sources, and the widespread use of power electronic devices. Challenges include weakly damped oscillations from long-distance-connected wind farms, frequency stability issues due to reduced system inertia, and voltage stability problems arising from interactions between transmission systems and dynamic loads.
The rapid development of synchronized phasor measurement technology over the past decade, along with the deployment of phasor measurement units (PMUs) and wide area measurement systems (WAMSs), provides new insights into system dynamics and innovative approaches to address these challenges.
This book presents concepts, methodologies, and applications of wide area monitoring, control, and protection in power systems with large-scale renewable integration. Chapters cover system monitoring, modeling and validation, control strategies, and data mining, with a strong emphasis on synchrophasor technology and practical experiences from real-world power grids.
