Abstract

Modern power systems are facing unprecedented challenges resulted from rapidly increasing renewables to meet the ambitious global decarbonization targets. Synchronized measurements, typically using data from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs), provide a promising solution for enhanced monitoring, protection and control for future power systems to address the renewable integration challenges. This article will present the fundamentals of Wide Area Monitoring, Protection and Control (WAMPAC) systems for power grids, which covers the key concepts, general architecture, associated international standards, measurement devices/enabling technologies, and typical applications. Future trends on the development of WAMPAC systems will also be discussed.
