Advanced Protection Systems using Wide Area Measurements
Develop and evaluate 3 protection system enhancement tools using wide area measurements to minimize the inappropriate triggering of protection systems: use of "voting" to supervise backup relays, alarming when system impedance levels encroach upon trip characteristics of protective systems, and adapting out-of-step generator protection based on real time system conditions.
