A Simple Synchrophasor Estimation Algorithm Considering IEEE Standard C37.118.1-2011 and Protection Requirements

In this paper, a simple synchrophasor estimation algorithm has been proposed considering power system steady state, dynamic conditions, and protection requirements. The new IEEE Standard C37.118.1-2011 for synchrophasor measurements includes the dynamic performance requirements for the phasor measurement units. It is shown that the proposed method satisfies all the steady state and dynamic requirements of the new IEEE Standard. Presently, synchrophasors are mainly used for wide area monitoring. Increasingly, synchrophasors are being considered for protection applications in smart grids. Protection applications require shorter response times and lower overshoot/undershoot values for estimated phasors during large disturbances. It is shown that the proposed method performs satisfactorily during system faults, which is an important requirement for protection applications. A detailed performance comparison with the existing phasor estimation algorithms has also been presented.
