Review reveals the functional scope of micro-phasor measurement units in distribution networks, highlighting substantial improvements in real-time grid observability and resilience.
The Micro-Phasor Measurement Unit ( μ PMU) or distribution-level PMU (D-PMU) is a measurement device that measures the synchronized voltage and current values of electric power distribution networks. The synchronized data obtained by μ PMUs can be used for monitoring, diagnostic, and control distribution network applications, so that operators can understand the dynamic states of the distribution network in real-time. In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art μ PMU research which includes a list of μ PMU applications, monitoring and diagnostic functions, control applications, and optimal placement of the μ PMU. In addition, we analyze the benefits of μ PMUs in distribution networks; in particular, their reliability and resiliency, cost savings, and environmental and policy benefits.
