The evolution of power grids into intelligent smart grids relies on advanced technologies that enable real-time monitoring, control, and the seamless integration of distributed renewable generation. The widespread deployment of phasor measurement units (PMUs) has made it possible to apply real-time data to critical tasks such as stability enhancement, state and load estimation, power system protection, and wide-area reliability assessment.
This thoroughly revised second edition expands on the first, offering comprehensive updates and new insights into the application of synchronized phasor measurements in modern power systems. Topics include:
-
Optimal reliability criterion index (ORC) and secured relaying
-
Synchrophasor-assisted visualization, protection, and grid monitoring
-
Cyber-physical attack detection and vulnerability assessment
-
Load and generator parameter estimation
-
State estimation and wide-area security assessment
-
Micro-PMUs for energy management and distributed systems
Providing a practical and research-oriented guide to the use of synchrophasor technology in smart grids, this book is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and professionals working in power system monitoring, protection, and grid modernization.
