FNET/GridEye for Future High Renewable Power Grids Applications Overview
Integration of renewable generation sets high requirements for real time situational awareness of power systems. FNET/GridEye, a synchrophasor measurement network for wide area power system monitoring has been assisting realtime situational awareness and helping improve reliability in many power grids for 14 years. To aid operators confronting challenges from growing renewables, FNET/GridEye continues increasing its measurement accuracy and enhancing its functionalities. This paper provides an overview on the mostrecent FNET/GridEye application improvements that help power grid operation with high renewable penetration. The real time applications presented in this paper include event location, oscillation monitoring, inertia estimation, and islanding detection.
