To help with grid hardening\, event detection\, and ass et management\, we have deployed wideband optical electric field sensors t o enable a wide-area synchronized waveform measurement system on the trans mission grids with up to one mega-samples-per-second (Msps) measurement re solution. This monitoring system helps in a variety of ways to improve the grid including:\n\n1. Accurate event and fault location on the transmissi on lines\, typically within 100 m\, to assist with faster grid recovery (a nd shorter outage duration where applicable).\n\n2. Help with asset invest ment prioritization based on identifying the weak areas of the grid\; for example\, identifying which few transmission towers are seeing most of the faults on a transmission line\, so that key problem areas can be addresse d (or replaced) on priority.\n\n3. Incipient fault location on the transmi ssion system to assist with corrective actions before the issues develop i nto faults and longer outages.\n\n4. Post-event analysis\, including perfo rmance of protection system during events.\n\nThis intelligent monitoring system helps improve grid resiliency\; and most importantly\, itself is ar chitected to be very resilient and dependable. Practicality\, safety\, and cost efficiency have been core driving principles in deploying this syste m.\n\nIn addition to supporting travelling-wave-based accurate event locat ion\, the sensor system provides lower-resolution synchronized measurement s such as 14.4 ksps (as recommended by IEC 61869-9) for digital substation and power quality and harmonics measurement\, as well as continuous synch rophasor streaming ability at 60 or 120 measurements-per-second for wide-a rea grid performance and stability analysis.\n\nIn this presentation\, we report on the measurement system performance and provide examples of field experience with accurate event location to support real-time grid operati on\, grid resiliency\, and asset health management.\n\nSpeaker(s): Farnoos h Rahmatian\, \n\nAgenda: \n- 11:45 AM-Noon: Networking and refreshment\n- Noon-1:00 pm: Technical talk on High-Resolution Synchronized Measurements to Support Grid Resiliency and Asset Management\n\nRoom: Southpoint Room\ , 6911 Southpoint Drive \, Burnaby\, British Columbia\, Canada\, V3N 4X8 LOCATION:Room: Southpoint Room\, 6911 Southpoint Drive \, Burnaby\, British Columbia\, Canada\, V3N 4X8 ORGANIZER:anandrs97@ieee.org SEQUENCE:42 SUMMARY:Expert Talk on High-Resolution Synchronized Measurements to Support Grid Resiliency and Asset Management URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434740 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>IEEE PES Vancouver Chapter is plea sed to announce the following technical talk at BC Hydro Edmonds campus.</ strong></p>\n<p><strong>The theme of the talk is: &ldquo\;High-Resolution Synchronized Measurements to Support Grid Resiliency and Asset Management& rdquo\;.</strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Extreme wea ther conditions are demanding stronger grid resiliency.&nbsp\; To help wit h grid hardening\, event detection\, and asset management\, we have deploy ed wideband optical electric field sensors to enable a wide-area synchroni zed waveform measurement system on the transmission grids with up to one m ega-samples-per-second (Msps) measurement resolution.
