Synchronized Phasor Measurements for Smart Grids - Hardcover

by Maddikara Jaya Bharata Reddy (Editor), Dusmanta Kumar Mohanta (Editor)

The use of advanced technologies enables the transformation of the power grid to an intelligent smart grid with real time control and monitoring, and integration of distributed renewable generation. With the development of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and the availability of real time measurements, it has become possible to develop different power system applications to enhance the stability, and perform state estimation, load estimation, power network protection, and wide-area security assessment. This increases the reliability as well as flexibility of the power grid.

The new edition of this book covers the recent developments in the area, including cyber-physical attack detection and ancillary power support for microgrids.Grid monitoring is vital for flexibility and renewable energy integration. The new edition of this successful work on synchrophasor technology covers the recent developments including cyber-security, cyber-physical attack detection, and ancillary services.
