IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF INTELLIGENT SMART GRID MONITORING USING PHASOR MEASURMENT UNIT SCHEME

This work presents improving the performance of intelligent smart grid monitoring using Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) scheme. This was achieved studying the load flow of the grid using Newton Raphson algorithm and then develop a PMU system for real time data collection and then transmit to the control center via software defined radio. The system was implemented using Simulink and tested. The result showed that the PMU sampling time is 10ms and then the transmitting time is 12ms. The system was integrated at the grid and used to monitor New haven, Ugwuaji and Onitsha Busses. The result showed that the PMU was able to monitor the Busses in real time.
