Such a goal can be achieved by performing synchronized measurements with Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). In literature, there are a considerable number of works devoted to PMUs: from the development of ever more accurate phasor estimation algorithms to the characterization of PMUs setups including instrument transformers. However, another interesting aspect is PMU modeling for digital applications and real-time simulations/simulators. It is often required to have reliable ready-to-use PMU models to be utilized in the daily investigation. Based on these considerations, this work aims to develop an open-access MATLAB-based PMU library. Such a library is both customizable to the operator’s needs and user-friendly. Additionally, it is tested according to the relevant IEEE Standard 60255-118-1. Tests are performed both offline (MATLAB/Simulink environment) and in real-time by using OPAL-RT OP 4510 simulator. Test and results confirm the compliance of the developed PMU library to the Standards, ensuring the possibility of using it for in-field applications. Indeed, this ready-to-use PMU can be implemented in the digital twin, hardware-in-the-loop, as well as simple laboratory applications.","PeriodicalId":253296,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 12th International Workshop on Applied Measurements for Power Systems (AMPS)","volume":"41 Suppl 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126362159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The need for data exchange between different actors imposes new requirements of data integrity and security, which can be fulfilled by Blockchain technology thanks to its distributed nature, transparency and immutability In this paper we quantify the time consumption and data exchange requirements between areas. Furthermore, we analyze the implication of Blockchain adoption as a secure data transfer technology, by testing a 2-step MASE algorithm communicated through the Blockchain, and comparing its performance with iterative data exchange methods already present in the literature. Finally, the results are analyzed in terms of storage capacity required for periodic state estimation, and the time required to get a final state-estimate considering the time constraints imposed by Blockchain Technology. Tests and results show different data publication methods for Blockchain adoption and bring quantitative results for the feasibility analysis, depending on the MASE algorithm adopted in the monitoring system.","PeriodicalId":253296,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 12th International Workshop on Applied Measurements for Power Systems (AMPS)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124692674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
