Power grid operation is a system of synchronised power producers and consumers connected by transmission and distribution lines which are operated by one or more control centres The current problems of power grid operation are: lack of control for maximum power transfer, lack of proper network to cover up protection for sudden bulk power transfer, and power oscillations. Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS) is a collective technology to monitor power system dynamics in real time and identify system stability related weaknesses which help to design and implement control measures. Thus, by enabling power grid operation with WAMS, this project aims to improve system performance, enable smart operation, and increase security and efficiency.
