Abstract :
Area angles are a way to quantify the stress across an area of a power system by combining synchrophasor measurements of angles at the border buses of the area. One use of the area angle is to quickly monitor stress changes due to line outages within the area. We explain the area angle, illustrate its use on a 30-bus Japanese test system, and discuss how to choose areas.
