Recent technology advancement related to computer & communication and measuring devices allows system operators to adopt more intelligent monitoring and control systems to their power systems in order to prevent massive system blackout. Among them, wide-area monitoring and control(WAMAC) system based on synchro-phasor technology has been widely applied to power systems for their own purposes. In this paper, the study on the development of load shedding scheme to improve voltage stability in KEPCO system is introduced. Summary of WAMAC technology being developed and applied in the world through extensive literature survey is proposed. And methodology to develop voltage stability index and multi-step load shedding scheme based on synchro-phasor data is also presented.

Modern power system is operated and managed in closed network environment with treating a great variety of data, and requirement of real time power system data is more increasing. However, it is difficult for operators to fast evaluate the condition of power system using only isolation network system such as SCADA or EMS regarding unexpecting situations occurring. Recent technology achievement in areas of distributed computing, networking high speed communications and digital control as well as the availability of accurate GPS time source are rapidly becoming the enabling factors for the development of a new generation of real time power grid monitoring tools. In this paper, architecture of WAMAC which is the wide area monitoring and control system not only to control but also to monitoring in real time is proposed and the plan of integration interface with legacy system such as EMS for providing power system analysis base data effectively is suggested.

Through the development of phasor measurement units (PMU), various aspects of power system dynamic behavior could be monitored and diagnosed. Monitoring dynamic voltage stability has become one of the achievements we can obtain from PMUs. It is very important to select the most appropriate method for the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) system since there are many voltage stability indices. In this paper, we propose an advanced WAVI (Wide Area Voltage Stability) that is well suited for the purposes of monitoring the dynamic voltage stability of KEPCO's PMU installation plan. The salient features of the proposed index are: i) it uses only PMU measurements without coupling with EMS data; ii) it is computationally unburdened and can be applied to real-time situations. The proposed index is applied to the KEPCO test system and the results show that it successfully predicts voltage instability through comparative studies.

Accidents or faults in the transmission and distribution system are never completely avoidable, and short-circuit and earth faults are occurs despite the efforts of the TSO and DSO. Recently, the connection to the transmission and distribution system of large-capacity new and renewable distributed power has increased rapidly and has various effects on the operation of the system. In order to minimize this, connection standards such as FRT (Fault-Ride-Through) have been established to provide wind turbines or solar inverters. In the event of a major faults of the power system, the operation support shall be provided so that the operator can stably operate the system by smoothly performing connection maintenance or rapid system separation. In this paper, in order to appropriately determine whether the FRT condition, which is the grid connection criterion for a representative DERs, is sufficient, a detection system using a PMU (Phasor Measurement Unit) that measures a synchro-phasors was designed and deployment and a system accident due to a generator step-out to analyze and evaluate the proposed system based on the case.

Smart WAMAC (Wide Area Monitoring And Control) System, which supplements control function with the function of WAMS(Wide Area Monitoring System), is an intelligent system not only monitoring the wide area but controlling the power equipment according to defined procedure. This paper presents WAMAC system architecture for hierarchical Infra and considerations to design and implement.
