Wide area monitoring
Following the 2003 Northeast blackout, synchrophasor technology with phasor measurement units (PMUs) became a key focus for Wide Area Monitoring, Protection, and Control (WAMPAC) in the power industry. While currently used for real-time monitoring and post-event analysis, its full potential for enhancing reliability and security through Wide Area Protection and Control (WAPC) is often limited by the high costs of PMUs and communication networks. Our real-time simulation provides an affordable alternative, enabling advanced WAMPAC R&D and testing without the risk and expense of physical setups, empowering further advancements in the field.
