Abstract

Large-scale power systems exhibit more complex dynamics due to the increasing integration of inverter-based resources (IBRs). Therefore, there is an urgent need to enhance the situational awareness capability for better monitoring and control of power grids dominated by IBRs. As a pioneering Wide-Area Measurement System, FNET/GridEye has developed and implemented various advanced applications based on the collected synchrophasor measurements to enhance the situational awareness capability of large-scale power grids. This study provides an overview of the latest progress of FNET/GridEye. The sensors, communication, and data servers are upgraded to handle ultra-high density synchrophasor and point-on-wave data to monitor system dynamics with more details. More importantly, several artificial intelligence (AI)-based advanced applications are introduced, including AI-based inertia estimation, AI-based disturbance size and location estimation, AI-based system stability assessment, and AI-based data authentication.
