Type: Technical Lecture Series
Title: High Reporting Rate Measurements for Smart(er) Grids – IEEE IMS Distinguished Lecture
Speaker: Prof. Mihaela Albu, PhD
Date: 18th September 2017
Time: 17:30 – 18:30
Location: F14, Renold Building, Altrincham Street, Manchester M1 7JA
Free Refreshments will be provided for all attendees.
LECTURE DETAILS:
This IEEE IMS Distinguished Lecture would be related to issues on the Modern control algorithms in the emerging power systems used to process information delivered mainly by distributed, synchronized measurement systems, which are available in data streams with different reporting rates.
The main issues such as the main constraint associated with existing standards and the gap between (i) the level of approximation used for modelling the current and voltage waveforms and (ii) the stringent requirements in capabilities and functionalities of the newly deployed synchronized measurement units associated with the potential reporting rates would be presented. The talk aims to inform on emerging methods and tools to address these issues. Participants will learn about:
- The measurement paradigm in power systems;
- PQ, SCADA and PMUs and Power system state estimation; WAMCS
- Time-stamped versus synchronized measurements
- Measurement channel quality and models for energy transfer
- Time- aggregation algorithms in the PQ framework
- Applications and challenges
- Communication channel requirements; delay assessment in WAMCS
- Smart metering with high reporting rate (1s)
