By AEP Transmission Operations
October 3-4, 2017
AEP’s Service Territory
• AEP operates in 11 states constituting parts of ERCOT, SPP and PJM’s footprints
• AEP has by far deployed 266 PMUs across three footprints (PJM, ERCOT, SPP)
• The PMUs has been used to detect oscillations and identify power quality issues
• Architecture1. Field units sending data to ePDC, which feeds AEP PMU data to RTOS
2. ePDC sends data to e-PhasorPoint, which feeds alarms to AEP’s EMS
3. e-PhasorPoint configured for all three footprints of AEP with redundancy servers set up
• Functionality1. Real-time monitoring and grid stability assessment
2. Oscillation detection and power quality issue identification
3. Data archive for post event analysis

Oscillation Monitoring
• What is important for the operators?
– How big is the oscillation? (Oscillation Amplitude)
– How quick the oscillation can settle down? (Oscillation Damping Ratio or Decay Time)
– Is this a system glitch or persistent? (Oscillation Hysteresis)
• How to set these alarm threshold?
– Challenges• No hard limit
• System always changing
• How to separate the true oscillation from noise and switching?
– Baseline Analysis
Alarm Parameters for Oscillation Detection
Amplitude Exclusion: Alarm will not be triggered despite damping if amplitude below the exclusion level
Damping Threshold: Maximum damping ratio to trigger low damping oscillation alarm
Amplitude Threshold: Minimum amplitude to trigger high amplitude oscillation alarm
Damping Exclusion: Alarm will not be triggered despite amplitude if damping above the exclusion level
Oscillation mode captured in past 15 min
