Abstract

The complication of existing electrical power systems is gradually increasing. This is stimulating researchers and developers to suggest new answers capable of addressing several challenges, particularly those related to power system operation. Massive penetration of asynchronously connected renewable energy generation, the generation connected over inverters is significantly changing the dynamics of modern power systems. Lately, the wide area monitoring system (WAMS) helps the power system operators to continuously analyze all the features of a large power network in real time. Utilizing phasor measurement units (PMUs), information can be recorded and monitored. Wide Area Monitoring Protection and Control (WAMPAC) enables power systems to detect disturbances and improve knowledge of network behavior under dynamic conditions, enabling system operators to maximize power flow and network stability. This chapter will give a basic overview of wide area monitoring and describe the components associated with it and its applications.
