NERC Disturbance Monitoring Standards Development Info from meeting held on August 7-9, 2007 West Palm Beach, Florida
NERC Disturbance Monitoring Standards Drafting Team Meeting August 7-9, 2007 • NERC had great difficulty in collecting August 14, 2003 disturbance data required for analysis • New standards are being written to simplify data collection • The primary source of disturbance data collection is considered to be Digital Fault Recorders (DFRs) • The primary data recording requirements are for • Sequence of Events • Faults • Dynamic events • Other • Triggering of recording to be based on • frequency (f, df/dt, etc.) • Voltage, voltage deviation • Data output requirements with respect to simulation studies • Data requirements with respect to need to replay an event on a relay
NERC Disturbance Monitoring Standards Drafting Team MeetingAugust 7-9, 2007, West Palm Beach, Florida • Several presentations summarizing the regional disturbance monitoring programs • Regions covered : • ERCOT – Steve Myers • FRCC - Alan D. Baker • MRO – Larry Brusseau • NPCC - Jeff Pond • RFC - Barry Goodpaster and Bob Millard • SERC – Felix Amarh • SPP - Willy Haffecke • WECC - Bharat Bhargava • Most presentations / Regional groups consider the Digital Fault Recorders (DFRs) as the primary source of Disturbance Data collection • FRCC standards are being used to modify as the NERC standards • WECC is the only Region using Phasor Measurement Technology for Disturbance recording
NERC Disturbance Monitoring Standards Drafting Team MeetingAugust 7-9, 2007, West Palm Beach, Florida • During the presentations, Chairman (Navin Bhatt) noted issues which the drafting team should discuss and maybe incorporate into the revised Disturbance Monitoring standard: • Voltage level for locations • Current measurements - 3-phase and neutral or something else • Locations – siting methodology • Resolution (samples/second) • Data retention • Time stamping • Timing error and skew requirements • Generator location – should generator bus voltages be monitored • Recording duration • What is a “disturbance” • Data format • How to address legacy equipment • Remote triggering requirements • Would continuous recording requirements abrogate the need for remote triggering? • Team will need to establish BEST “common denominator” • Testing and maintenance requirements? • Sampling rate: What are the requirements for measurements points/cycle? • Okay to skip installation at a location when next station has a DME installed?
Southern California Edison Synchronized Phasor Measurement System and Programs
Increasing Transmission Capacity and reliability We can increase transmission capacity/reliability using SPMS by • Establishing static phase angle limits • Increasing loadings if margin is there • Reducing loading if the safe limits are exceeded • Comparing phase angle measurements with bench marked casesand keeping adequate dynamic margin • for critical outages • Maintaining adequate margins if line outages occur and adjusting phase angles as necessary. • Monitoring Modal oscillations frequencies and damping • Modal damping should not fall below 7 to 8 percent on any mode • Modal frequencies should not continue to drift lower • Monitoring voltage support at intermediate locations • when operating at large phase angles separations. • Event reconstruction and model validation
Critical system info for monitoring and controlling Western / other system grids Situational Awareness • Power system stress / phase angle separation • Inter-area dynamics (modes and their damping) • Remote abnormal operations and critical line outages • Var /voltage capability and voltage support at critical locations (Malin, Devers etc. ) • PV Curves and VAR management • Event system analysis and pattern recognitions • Identification of critical events • Active use of coordinated system controls on • Generators (PSS) • HVDC (modulation and operation) • FACTS devices and their coordination
