Data network traffic analysis and optimization strategy of real-time power grid dynamic monitoring system for wide-frequency measurements

The application and development of a wide-area measurement system(WAMS)has enabled many applications and led to several requirements based on dynamic measurement data.Such data are transmitted as big data information flow.To ensure effective transmission of wide-frequency electrical information by the communication protocol of a WAMS,this study performs real-time traffic monitoring and analysis of the data network of a power information system,and establishes corresponding network optimization strategies to solve existing transmission problems.This study utilizes the traffic analysis results obtained using the current real-time dynamic monitoring system to design an optimization strategy,covering the optimization in three progressive levels:the underlying communication protocol,source data,and transmission process.Optimization of the system structure and scheduling optimization of data information are validated to be feasible and practical via tests.

Field PMU Test and Calibration Method——PartⅡ:Test Signal Identification Methods and Field Test Applications

Synchrophasor measurement units(PMUs)provide synchronized measurement data for wide-area applications.To improve the effectiveness of synchrophasor-based applications,field PMUs must be tested to ensure their performance and data quality.In the companion paper(Part I),we proposed a field PMU test and calibration framework consisting of a PMU calibrator and analysis center.Part I presents the development and test of the PMU calibrator.This paper focuses on the analysis center and field test applications.First,the critical component of the analysis center is the signal identification module,for which the step and oscillation signal identification methods are proposed.Here,the performance evaluation criteria of PMU in these two cases are different from others.The methods include a step signal detection method based on singular value decomposition(SVD),which has the capability of weak step detection to account for energy leakage of the signal during the step process,and an oscillation signal identification method based on SVD and fast Fourier transform,which can accurately extract oscillation components that benefit from the adaptive threshold setting method.Second,the analysis center software is implemented based on identification results.By integrating the PMU calibrator in Part I with the analysis center in Part II,we can examine in depth the field PMU test applications in three test scenarios,including standard,playback,and field signal test.Results demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed field PMU test methods from both Parts I and II.

Field PMU Test and Calibration Method–Part I:General Framework and Algorithms for PMU Calibrator

Laboratory testing of phasor measurement units(PMUs)guarantees their performance under laboratory conditions.However,many factors may cause PMU measurement problems in actual power systems,resulting in the malfunction of PMU-based applications.Therefore,field PMUs need to be tested and calibrated to ensure their performance and data quality.In this paper(Part I),a general framework for the field PMU test and calibration in different scenarios is proposed.This framework consists of a PMU calibrator and an analysis center,where the PMU calibrator provides the reference values for PMU error analysis.Two steps are implemented to ensure the calibrator accuracy for complex field signals:①by analyzing the frequency-domain probability distribution of random noise,a Fourier-transform-based signal denoising method is proposed to improve the anti-interference capability of the PMU calibrator;and②a general synchrophasor estimation method based on complex bandpass filters is presented for accurate synchrophasor estimations in multiple scenarios.Simulation and experimental test results demonstrate that the PMU calibrator has a higher accuracy than that of other calibrator algorithms and is suitable for field PMU test.The analysis center for evaluating the performance of field PMUs and the applications of the proposed field PMU test system are provided in detail in Part II of the next-step research.
