Wide Area Monitoring, Protection, and Control (WAMPAC) Systems

Dr. Takuhei Hashiguchi
Kyushu University, Japan

Abstract

Recent increased disturbances, congestion management issues, and complexities in operating power systems have emphasized the need for integration and improvement of power systems worldwide. Wide Area Monitoring, Protection, and Control (WAMPAC) systems provide a cost-effective solution to improve operation, maintenance, energy trading, and grid planning. Also, WAMPAC systems can assist in the enhancement of reliability and stability for electric power systems. Synchronized measurement technology and its applications are important elements of WAMPAC systems. In addition, Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are the most accurate and advanced time-synchronized technology available for WAMPAC systems. This special session focuses on innovative wide area monitoring, protection and control for smart grid systems, and effective analysis methods for system realization.
