Due to the proliferation of internet-of-things (IoT)-based technologies in the last several years, digital computing hardware and software technologies have seen massive performance improvement. Additionally, these technologies provide lower costs for comparatively higher computation and storage, more compact size hardware, and compatibility with a large selection of operating systems. Furthermore, communication protocols have increased the penetration of single-board computers in many consumer and industrial applications. This article presents the application of a state-of-the-art edge computing infrastructure to the electrical power distribution grid. Electrical power distribution is becoming increasingly complex with the large degree of integration of distributed energy resources (DERs). The distribution system also experiences many different undesired events, such as different types of temporary and permanent faults, loss of measurement data, and cyberattacks. This article highlights a small-scale experimental validation of edge computing in power distribution automation that can be used for classifying different faults, detecting anomalies in the grid, measurement data recovery, and other advanced analytics techniques.

Waveforms are the most granular and authentic representation of voltage and current in power systems. With the latest advancements in power system measurement technologies, it is now possible to obtain time-synchronized waveform measurements, i.e., synchro-waveforms, from different locations of a power system. The measurement technology to obtain synchro-waveforms is referred to as a waveform measurement unit (WMU). WMUs can capture the most inconspicuous disturbances that are overlooked by other types of time-synchronized sensors, such as phasor measurement units (PMUs). WMUs also monitor system dynamics at much higher frequencies as well as much lower frequencies than the fundamental components of voltage and current that are commonly monitored by PMUs. Thus, synchro-waveforms introduce a new frontier to advance power system and equipment monitoring and control, with direct applications in situational awareness, system dynamics tracking, incipient fault detection and identification, condition monitoring, and so on. They also play a critical role in monitoring inverter-based resources (IBR) due to the high-frequency switching characteristics of IBRs.
