Abstract

This article describes the transition from phasor-based wide area measurement to real time monitoring, control, and protection. The power system phenomena to deal with are reviewed, and key concepts in control and protection are addressed along with different design principles and architectures. Examples of analysis tools, monitoring tools and concepts for control and protection are given. The use of PMU improved the observability of the power system dynamics.
