Performance of Response Based One Shot Controls Handling Missing Phasor Measurements

Abstract

With the advent of real-time PMU data acquisition technology, the possibility of solutions to several instability problems in power system has increased. However, PMUs may undergo different data quality issues like recording bad data or missing data. Some paper mentions about 5-10% of missing samples in some historical PMU's dataset. This paper assumes 0-10% of missing phasor samples by randomly deleting measurements and explores imputation methods of handling missing data in real time. The simulation is carried out in a DT-based stability prediction and one-shot control scheme of WECC's 176-bus model. Several control performances are evaluated to decide a useful method of missing data recovery for the response based one shot control scheme. A PMU data quality issue is not limited to missing samples only but also interference with noises. Later part of this paper performs simulation considering noisy phasor measurements. A 45 dB of Gaussian distributed noise is deliberately added to phasor samples and simulation is performed with different DT indices and thresholds for real time stability prediction and control actuation.
