  2. Introduction • Peak has been working on Synchrophasor technology since 2012 • Peak is turning focus to control room solution (CRS) implementation 3 1 2

  3. Where We Are Now? • Receive ~400 PMUs live data from entities and enable PMU signals being down sampled into EMS to achieve a hybrid SE Solution. • Perform System Model Validation (MOD-033) study against system events using PMU data • Build an accurate simulation case of a real event in hours using West wide System Model (WSM) and PowerTech TSAT and GE/PSLF tools • Run GE (formerly Alstom Grid)-PhasorPoint (PP) and MontanaTech MAS/Mode Meter for inter area oscillation modes and wide area angle separation monitoring in real time for baselining study

  4. Peak PMU Map, Statistics & Progress Highlight

  5. Peak SMART Working Group (WG) Update • Purpose: Operationalizing PMU Technology • To investigate, collaborate, and to remove obstacles for the implementation and operator use of advanced Synchrophasor and real-time network applications in control room settings. • Membership: Operating entities of Peak members and WECC in the context of the Peak UDSA. • Reporting: SMART reports to WECC JSIS and Peak RC User Group meetings * For SMART Charter et al details, go to https://www.peakrc.com/whatwedo/SMART/Pages/default.aspx, or https://www.peakrc.org/synchrophasor/Pages/PublicDocs.aspx

  6. 1st SMART WG Meeting Debrief • Twenty representatives from Peak Reliability, BPA, WECC, CAISO, PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, IPC, WAPA, SRP et al entities approved the SMART Charter and organization chart unanimously. Thanks for all! • Main presentation topics: • BPA’s operation experience with oscillation detection • Online TSAT Implementation by Peak and CAISO • PMU data quality update by Peak, PG&E, SDG&E • 2017 Solar Eclipse Observations by CAISO & Peak • The meeting decided on the SMART goals for next 12-18 months • Operationalizing online TSAT and Oscillation Detection tools; sharing PMU data and SMART use cases

  7. Peak Synchrophasor Technology Roadmap • Peak aims to implement and/or operationalize proven PMU technology tools for control room solution (CRS), including • Online EPG’s enhanced LSE software for situational awareness • Baseline MontanaTech MAS/Mode Meter tools for Inter-area oscillation modes monitoring and alarming in real-time • Collaborate with BPA and other entities for low damping alarming & control • Online Washington State University-WSU’s oscillation monitoring system (OMS) tool for forced oscillation detection & source locating • Wide area Angle Difference Monitoring

  8. LSE Implementation Roadmap

  9. LSE Layer in PI-ESRI Visualization Platform • Show LSE Solutions in Geospatial and Weather (live) Visualization Platform

  10. LSE for Monitoring Solar and Wind Generations • Solar and Wind Generations heavily depends on Weather Conditions • LSE shall provide fast estimation of renewable generation changes

  11. MAS/Mode Meter Implementation Roadmap • Peak implemented MontanaTech MAS engine in GE PhasorPoint (PP) and integrated PP/MAS solution results into EMS via Grid Stability Assessment (GSA) • MAS results are now available in EMS and PI Historian • Next step is Mode Meter baselining & correlation study

  12. Impact of Paths 1 & 83 Outages to N-S Modes • Started around 09/25/2017 9:00 am, Peak’s Oscillation Detection Tools show N-S Mode A as unavailable when AESO was connected to WECC via 138kV line • NS Mode B shows Oscillation Frequency as 0.32/0.33 Hz

  13. Observations and Remarks • N-S Mode A and N-S Mode B will collapse into one when • AESO is islanded or • AESO is connected by one 138 kV line (weak link) • Mode Meter results are affected • N-S Mode A disappeared • N-S Mode B damping ratio is biased • Peak targets to collaborate with BPA and other entities on real-time system oscillation monitoring and damping control

  14. Forced Oscillation Detection Roadmap • Peak validated WSU Oscillation Monitoring System (OMS) tools in Engineering Lab for • Forced oscillation detection in real-time. • Source locating algorithms using SCADA measurements. • The tools were used to find various forced oscillations, including one Resonant Oscillation on COI. line flow oscillation

  15. FODSL Tool User Interface in PI Processbook • A GIS based overview to present: • Forced Oscillation Detector • Start/end time, oscillation frequency, damping ratio, oscillation energy, confidence level • Average normalized mode shape, length = magnitude, east = 0 degree angle • Oscillation Source Locator • PMA result (red), MVRA result (white) • Area = ranking index • The tool can be integrated in PI-ESRI Platform in the future

  17. Real-Time FODSL Output Results(08/18/2017-09/07/2018) • From the FODSL tool at Engineering Lab, we noticed hundreds of oscillation event alarms in Fig-1. By filtering those with damping <3% and confidence level>75%, we identified a subset of likely sustainable oscillations in Fig-2. We chose one 1.23 Hz oscillation event in Fig-3.

  19. Wide Area Angle Difference Alarming Roadmap • Enable alarming wide area angle difference exceedance by comparing LSE solved bus angle differences with real-time TSAT calculated bus angle difference limits Wide area Angle Difference Online TSAT Calculated Limits of Path Flow vs Angle

  20. Conclusion • Values of Synchrophasor data and technology, and use cases for Control room have been demonstrated till date • The roadmap for the next step is to operationalize those new tools in our Control room for operational use and benefits • Peak desires to extend values and use cases of the new tools to our member entities by collaboration and sharing of Synchrophasor application solutions
