  • Wide area fault detection method using PMU data
    Patent number: 10132853
    Abstract: The embodiments herein are directed to monitoring in real time, power system data so as to provide insights into global operation of a power grid. Such a scheme disclosed herein utilizes rules, which are created by analyzing PMU measurement data, in order to detect the fault location (bus and line) and fault type. Three common types of faults in a power grid, single-line-to-ground (SLG), line-to-line (LL), and three phase faults, can be detected using the methods herein.
    Type: Grant
