Micro PMU based monitoring system for active distribution networks

Abstract

Distribution systems are evolving into active networks due to the high penetration of distributed generation in recent years. Micro Phasor Measurement Unit (μPMU) is capable of providing super-fast and accurate synchronised phasor mea-surements, and eligible for distribution networks applications. This paper introduces a project aiming to develop a μPMU based monitoring system for distribution networks. In this project, parallel computation method is proposed for big data screening, gathering and processing. This paper takes linear state estimation as an example to show the improvement of parallel computation on big data processing.
