Abstract

 One of the recommended preventive plans against the wide area disturbances is WAP, Wide Area Protection, through controlled system splitting or separation. In this paper, authors are proposing three simple algorithms that are intended to be operating online, analyze data from wide-area PMUs placed in different parts of the grid, process the system state and lines’ status and issue disconnecting actions to certain lines in the grid to form islands with minimum imbalances of power between generation and loads. First a simple approach is introduced which performs an extensive search for proper splitting strategies. The authors then present modified approaches which could make the whole system act within much shorter times. All the presented algorithms are analyzed and comments are made on ways to enhance their performances. This will emphasize on how such WAP systems would be designed and developed and if necessary tailored to fit specific systems or applications.
