SGSMA 2024 Tentative Program

Monday, May 20
  • 12:30-5:00PM
    • On-Site Registration
      • Welcome and Logistics
  • 12:30-2:30PM
    • Tutorial 1: Synchro-Waveforms: Principles, Data Analytics, and Industry Use Cases
      • Hamed Mohsenian-Rad, Professor, UC Riverside, USA
      • Chris Mullins, President, Power Monitors Inc., USA
      • Alex McEachern, McEachern, USA
        • Abstract: Waveforms are the most granular representation of voltage and current in power systems. With the latest advancements in power system measurement technologies, it is now possible to obtain time-synchronized waveform measurements, i.e. synchro-waveforms (also known as time-synchronized point-on-wave measurements), from different locations of a power system. Waveform Measurement Units (WMU) can capture the most inconspicuous disturbances that are overlooked by other types of time-synchronized sensors, such as phasor measurement units (PMUs). In this tutorial, a team of experts from academia, the sensor industry, and the utility industry will discuss the recent advancements and the practical challenges and opportunities in this new field. Different aspects will be covered in this tutorial, including sensor technologies, data collection, data analytics, and recent and emerging use cases. Various examples based on real-world data and applications will be presented in this tutorial. The tentative agenda for this tutorial has three parts: 1) Technology and Real-World Data. This part will provide a first-hand experience for the tutorial attendees to see how different physical phenomena on the power grid manifest themselves in voltage and current waveforms. These various phenomena may include faults and incipient faults in grid equipment and assets, such as transformers, capacitor banks, underground cabals, overhead cables, etc. Importantly, the discussions in Part 1 will also include comparisons between WMU data and PMU data; thus to gain a clear insight on what kind of analysis may require access to synchro-waveforms as opposed to synchro-phasors. 2) Data Analytics and Methods. The focus will be on using methods to utilize synchro-waveform data for situational awareness. This will be done by the analysis of `events’ in synchro-waveform measurements. Such analysis comprises various aspects, such as event detection, event characterization/ classification, and event location identification. We will briefly cover two types of analysis in the time domain and in the frequency domain. The combination of these methods provides a set of tools for situational awareness via synchro-waveforms. 3) Recent and Emerging Applications. This part will cover the existing and future applications of synchro-waveforms in power systems. Most notably, the focus will be on equipment and asset monitoring with a focus on incipient faults, monitoring and modeling inverter-based resources, detection and identification and abnormalities, such as subsynchronous oscillations, ignition, etc., as well as enhanced power quality analysis.
  • 2:30-2:45PM
    • Coffee Break
  • 2:45-4:45PM
    • Tutorial 2: Modern Data Analytic Applications to Assess the Dynamic Stability of Power Systems
      • Anamitra Pal, Arizona State, USA
      • Hector Chavez, University of Santiago de Chile, Chile
      • Mario Arrieta Paternina, UNAM, Mexico
        • Abstract: This tutorial is organized by the IEEE WG on Big Data & Analytics for Transmission Systems, and different data analytic applications for synchrophasor measurements will be provided. Attendees of this module will work on hands-on exercises with step-by-step examples for each application case. Synthetic and real measurements will be used as input data to the algorithms and the applications will span IEEE benchmark models and real systems. Examples of programming codes will be provided, where the participants will be able to understand the development their own solution to similar constraints. Moreover, additional references to support the material covered during each session will be provided. First, an application of state estimation to an unbalanced distribution system will be presented. Then, an example of how to derive reduced-order models with a demonstration in the Chilean system is going to be given followed by a demonstration on how to identify inter-area modes based on PMU measurements.
