See It Fast to Keep Calm: Real-Time Voltage Control Under Stressed Conditions

As the electrical utility industry addresses energy and environmental needs through greater use of renewable energy, storage, and other technologies, power systems are becoming more complex and stressed. Increased dynamic changes that require improvements in real-time monitoring, protection, and control increase the complexity of managing modern grids. In an effort to ensure the secure operation of power systems, more attention is being given to voltage management. Voltage management includes addressing voltage stability and fault-induced delayed voltage recovery (FIDVR) phenomena. Deployment of phasor measurement unit (PMU) technology, in combination with recently developed methodologies for tracking voltage behavior, has resulted in improved real-time voltage monitoring, protection, and control.
