In response to the existing challenge of integrating advanced metering, computation, communication and control into appropriate levels of Power system monitoring and control (PSMC), this book provides a comprehensive coverage of PSMC understanding, analysis, and realization. The physical constraints and engineering aspects of the PSMC have been fully considered, and developed PSMC strategies are explained using recorded real data from practical wide area measurement system (WAMS) via distributed phasor measurement units (PMUs) and global positioning system (GPS) receivers in Japan and South-East Asia (Singapore-Malaysia and Thailand). In addition to the power system monitoring, protection, and control, the application of WAMS in emergency control schemes, as well as control of distributed Microgrids are also emphasized.
