Execution of Real-time Wide Area Monitoring System with Big Data Functions and Practices

Abstract

Wide Area Monitoring and Smart Automation (WAMSA), is today’s innovative research area under smart grid execution to overcome real-time protection difficulties. Modern communications and information processing technologies offer outstanding real-time benefits. The development of big data applications and satellite uplinks are rapidly changing. Several new measurement devices are being incorporated into an advanced smart grid metering infrastructure. In this process, PMUs can sense, converting signals from voltage and current into digital form under real-time wide-area monitoring systems. In modern power systems real-time applications point of view, big data analytics are playing a vital role with a rising technological concept that contains smart electricity facilities, for instance, smart power control, energy utilization, and management. Initially, it emphasized that smart grids, modern data analytics, massive-scale information control, and reliable monitoring methods with the extreme size of data. This paper summarizes the PMU setup and installation overview in the Unified Real-time Dynamic State Measurement project (URTDSM) with the Synchrophasor based wide-area monitoring system in India. The novelty of this paper is to focus on big data potential functions and practices like fault detection, transient stability, load forecasting, and power quality monitoring into real-time wide-area monitoring.
