Online Detection of Low-Quality Synchrophasor Data Considering Frequency Similarity

Abstract

Here, this letter proposes a new approach for online detection of low-quality synchrophasor data under both normal and event conditions. The proposed approach utilizes the features of synchrophasor data in time and frequency domains to distinguish multiple regional PMU signals and detect low-quality synchrophasor data. It is more effective to detect low-quality data with apparently indistinguishable profiles. Case studies from recorded synchrophasor measurements verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach for detecting low-quality synchrophasor data in frequency, voltage magnitude and voltage angle.
