Title: Adaptive Subband Compression for Streaming of Continuous Point-on-Wave and PMU Data
A data compression system capable of providing real-time streaming of high-resolution continuous point-on-wave (CPOW) and phasor measurement unit (PMU) measurements is proposed. Referred to as adaptive subband compression (ASBC), the proposed technique partitions the signal space into subbands and adaptively compresses subband signals based on each subband's active bandwidth. The proposed technique conforms to existing industry phasor measurement standards, making it suitable for streaming high-resolution CPOW and PMU data either in continuous or burst on-demand/event-triggered modes. Experiments on synthetic and real data show that ASBC reduces the CPOW sampling rates by several orders of magnitude for real-time streaming while maintaining the precision required by industry standards.  more » « less

    In this study, a machine learning based method is proposed for creating synthetic eventful phasor measurement unit (PMU) data under time-varying load conditions. The proposed method leverages generative adversarial networks to create quasi-steady states for the power system under slowly-varying load conditions and incorporates a framework of neural ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to capture the transient behaviors of the system during voltage oscillation events. A numerical example of a large power grid suggests that this method can create realistic synthetic eventful PMU voltage measurements based on the associated real PMU data without any knowledge of the underlying nonlinear dynamic equations. The results demonstrate that the synthetic voltage measurements have the key characteristics of real system behavior on distinct time scales.

    Accurate modeling of electric power transmission networks (EPTNs) is essential for real-time monitoring, operational awareness, and contingency analysis in power systems. Representing EPTNs as graphs with nodes and edges offers a powerful abstraction of the network topology. However, inferring this topology using only phasor measurement unit (PMU) data remains a challenge, especially with no prior network information. In this study, a quantum-classical hybrid approach based on the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) to infer a transmission network graph model (TNGM) directly from PMU data is presented. The proposed approach utilizes a cost function incorporating the difference between power mismatch and mean power loss to guide one-to-one branch matching. Furthermore, the effect of quantum circuit depth is investigated to achieve 100% accuracy in TNGM construction. Typical results are presented on the two-area four-machine power system.

    Recent studies indicate that the noise characteristics of phasor measurement units (PMUs) can be more accurately described by non-Gaussian distributions. Consequently, estimation techniques based on Gaussian noise assumptions may produce poor results with PMU data. This paper considers the PMU based line parameter estimation (LPE) problem, and investigates the performance of four state-of-the-art techniques in solving this problem in presence of non-Gaussian measurement noise. The rigorous comparative analysis highlights the merits and demerits of each technique w.r.t. the LPE problem, and identifies conditions under which they are expected to give good results.

    Accurate knowledge of transmission line parameters is essential for a variety of power system monitoring, protection, and control applications. The use of phasor measurement unit (PMU) data for transmission line parameter estimation (TLPE) is well-documented. However, existing literature on PMU-based TLPE implicitly assumes the measurement noise to be Gaussian. Recently, it has been shown that the noise in PMU measurements (especially in the current phasors) is better represented by Gaussian mixture models (GMMs), i.e., the noises are non-Gaussian. We present a novel approach for TLPE that can handle non-Gaussian noise in the PMU measurements. The measurement noise is expressed as a GMM, whose components are identified using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. Subsequently, noise and parameter estimation is carried out by solving a maximum likelihood estimation problem iteratively until convergence. The superior performance of the proposed approach over traditional approaches such as least squares and total least squares as well as the more recently proposed minimum total error entropy approach is demonstrated by performing simulations using the IEEE 118-bus system as well as proprietary PMU data obtained from a U.S. power utility.
