Wide-Area Situational Awareness Application Developments, Yanzhu Ye

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation expands the topics from the wide-area situational awareness application development, system architecture design, to power system disturbance analysis. All the works are grounded on the wide-area Frequency Monitoring Network (FNET). The FNET system takes GPS-synchronized wide-area measurements in a low-cost, easily deployable manner at 120V single-phase power outlet. These synchronized observations enables the monitoring of bulk power systems, and provides critical information for understanding power system disturbances and system operations.

Firstly, the work addresses the viability of angle measurement to serve different types of situational awareness applications, including the development of new angle-based event location estimation methods, the …
