Abstract
As the Smart Grid is being developed in the Russian Federation, a need in FACTS arises at resolving the issues of increasing the transmission capacity of electric power lines, voltage control, etc. The paper considers the issues of installing phasor measurement units (PMU) at the FACTS for the electric power system state estimation of (EPS SE). The relevance of the paper is explained by the mandatory introduction of PMUs at newly commissioned power engineering facilities (PEF) scheduled for 2020 and farther. PMUs registering voltage and current phasors at FACTS allow increasing the precision of results of the EPS SE problem and improving the electric modes at the considered PEF.
Highlights
Smart Grid making stipulates for the development of organization and structural solutions in mode management as well as the upgrade of available grids for voltage regulation, increase the transmission capacity of electric power lines, etc
The measurement system SCADA, applied today, cannot provide sufficient basis for making a comprehensive Smart Grid that would correspond to all the requirements set to “smart grids”, including those relating to FACTS control
It is shown that the solution of the SE problem with the inclusion of FACTS equipped with phasor measurement units (PMU) provides a significant improvement of quality of measurement estimates
Summary
Smart Grid making stipulates for the development of organization and structural solutions in mode management as well as the upgrade of available grids for voltage regulation, increase the transmission capacity of electric power lines, etc. The measurement system SCADA, applied today, cannot provide sufficient basis for making a comprehensive Smart Grid that would correspond to all the requirements set to “smart grids”, including those relating to FACTS (being its main component) control It is explained by insufficiently high discretization of transmitted signals as well as their reliability as there are limitations existing for signal transmission from the sensors to CTWS because of the system architecture and algorithms. One of the possible solutions of the problem is applying PMU allowing for registering virtually all FACTS parameters with a high discretization level at continuous data reading This allows implementing the algorithms of FACTS control at the facilities and transmit the information for forming control actions to the upper level (the dispatching center) taking into account the mode and circuit state of EPS. It is shown that the solution of the SE problem with the inclusion of FACTS equipped with PMUs provides a significant improvement of quality of measurement estimates
