Description

Wide-Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS) have been widely accepted to provide real-time monitoring, protection, and control of power systems. The huge and rapidly increasing data volume in WAMS imposes a heavy burden on the communication and storage systems and could become the bottleneck for many real-time smart grid applications. This work aims to design a framework for intelligent lossy compression in a real-time manner for synchrophasor data in WAMS. The method should be able to achieve good compression ratios without introducing impractical delays and sacrificing much accuracy.
