Abstract

Using new technologies for communication in power system creates new opportunities for developing wide area system monitoring, protection and control system. Virtual Protection System (VPS) is a system that can be implemented in control center to detect any system abnormalities in a virtual environment by using PMUs data from whole system area. The control system can use the VPS fault analyses to detect system states and apply the proper remedies for self-healing of power system. Developed laboratory test setup is presented and several tests are accomplished in this regard. Applications of this system in power system control and self-healing will be discussed.
