Steps
toward a wide-area protection system for Power Grids

Abstract
As it becomes difficult to install
new transmission equipment, power-grid owners and operators are relying
more on the use of information technology (IT) for better utilization of
their existing assets. Proper implementation plans will lead to controls
that allow for much more flexible grid operations than those available
today. This presentation covers the philosophy (central vs. local) of
designing an IT infrastructure for monitoring, control and protection of
the power grid. It also covers the practicalities of implementing and
testing of smart algorithms. Speaker: Khoi Vu (M) received a Ph.D. in
Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington and an MBA from
the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He has been with ABB
Corporate Research since 1993, and works in wide-area protection,
protective-relay algorithms, power quality, energy markets, demand
response, and power-system analysis.
