Abstract:

The dynamic behavior of phasor measurement units (PMUs) is not only the key point to dynamic phasor algorithm improvement but also the basis for the successful implementation of PMUs in power system dynamic security monitoring and control. In this paper, the dynamic performance of PMUs is evaluated, and their dynamic behaviors are analyzed. PMUs from the four largest Chinese manufacturers are tested through the established PMU test system, and their dynamic performance is comprehensively evaluated. The dynamic behaviors of the PMUs are also analyzed. Analysis shows that the spectral leakage and the averaging effect of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) under dynamic conditions are the key reasons that lead to their dynamic behaviors. The theoretical results are consistent with the experimental data and the simulation. Finally, to eliminate the spectral leakage, the DFT with a digital low-pass filter is adopted to obtain more precise phasor measurements.
