Analysis and simulation of dynamic performance of PMU according to IEEE C37.118.1-2011 standard

Abstract

With the growth in the number of PMUs in the electrical system, the discussion and understanding of performance requirements required in IEEE standard C37.118.1-2011 and its addendum IEEE C37.118.1a-2014 is of fundamental importance for the future specification, operation and maintenance of future interconnected power grids. This paper presents an analysis of two different algorithms for calculating synchrophasors in accordance with limits and test methods proposed in the IEEE standard. Results are presented using a hybrid simulation platform, in which the algorithms are implemented in a real PMU.
