Data Quality Analysis and Solutions for Distribution-Level PMUs

Synchrophasors provide promising enhancement to the distribution system monitoring. However, different from transmission systems, distribution systems are usually with higher noise, phase unbalance, and distributed energy resources. All of these could impair the data quality of distribution-level phasor measurement units (D-PMUs) and thus deteriorate the performance of D-PMU based applications. Therefore, the data quality of D-PMU should be evaluated to ensure the effectiveness of D-PMU based applications. In this paper, factors in distribution systems that could jeopardize D-PMU data quality are evaluated. The impact of data quality on D-PMU applications is analyzed. Finally, solutions are proposed to improve D-PMU data quality to satisfy these requirements. This work provides effective methods to improve the performance of distribution-level grid monitoring using synchrophasor measurements.

Resiliency-Driven Proactive Distribution System Reconfiguration With Synchrophasor Data

Measuring and enabling resiliency of electric distribution systems with increasing weather and cyber events are important. Some of the extreme events (e.g. Earthquakes, Hurricanes) and associated paths are predicted and monitored closely in advance and allow to take pre-event proactive control actions. The Distribution Phasor Measurement Units (D-PMUs) provide new opportunities and supporting such proactive actions. Here, a synchrophasor based resiliency driven pre-event reconfiguration can ensure minimizing impact of the expected event on the power distribution system and associated performance. However, the D-PMUs will also face challenges in terms of data quality similar to the transmission PMUs. The focus of this paper is to provide data mining approaches for anomaly detection in D-PMUs and proposing resiliency-driven pre-event reconfiguration with islanding as a proactive mechanisms to minimize the impact of adverse events on system using processed synchrophasors data. Results are validated for real industrial feeders and test cases with satisfactory response
