Synchronized Phasor Measurements for Smart Grids

The use of advanced technologies is enabling the transformation of power grids to intelligent smart grids with real-time control and monitoring and integration of distributed renewable generation. With the development of phasor measurement units (PMUs) and the availability of real-time measurements, it has become possible to develop different power system applications to enhance stability and perform state estimation, load estimation, power network protection, and wide-area security assessment and reliability of the power grid.
