A proposal for distributed architecture for synchronized phasor measurement unit

摘要

This paper provides initial justification for adopting a distributed architecture for phasor measurement unit. The characteristics of synchronized phasor measurement is studied in detail. The benefits and short comings of phasor measurements are highlighted from the point of view of their different applications. The need for extension of phasor measurement unit functionality is brought out through analysis of the application and synchronized phasor measurement characteristic compatibility. The concept of phasor measurement unit is extended to a distributed system with several small functions working independently to provide a complete functionality of a phasor measurement unit. The proposed substation automation works on the framework of IEC 61850 process bus.
