The use of advanced technologies such as Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) have made it possible to transform the power grid to an intelligent Smart Grid with realtime control and monitoring of the system. The development of PMUs and the resulting possibility of real time measurements have enabled different power system applications to enhance the stability, state estimation, load estimation, power network protection, wide-area security assessment and reliability of the power grid. This essential reading explores the application of PMUs in power systems, allowing synchronized real-time...
