This paper describes a research project to develop a network of high-precision phasor measurement units, termed micro-synchrophasors or μPMUs, and explore the applications of μPMU data for electric power distribution systems.

This paper proposes a novel method for topology detection in distribution networks called the Time-Series Signature Verification Method for Topology Detection (TSV-Top). The TSV-Top analyzes data from phasor measurement units (PMU or μPMU) installed on power distribution feeders. The TSVTop relies on the fact that measurement data time series from power systems contain similar trends when network topology changes occur, and basically performs the projection of actual voltage phasorial patterns onto a library of signals associated with possible topology transictions of a given distribution network. The proposed algorithm is validated using a 33-bus testbed and the IEEE 123-bus feeder, and then compared with another state-ofthe- art algorithm using the IEEE 37-bus feeder.

The power system has been incorporating increasing amount of unconventional generations and loads such as distributed renewable resources, electric vehicles, and controllable loads. The induced dynamic and stochastic power flow require high-resolution monitoring technology and agile decision support techniques for system diagnosis and control. This paper discusses the application of micro-phasor measurement unit (PMU) data for power distribution network event detection. A novel datadriven event detection method, namely Hidden Structure Semi- Supervised Machine (HS $^{3}$ M), is established. HS $^{3}$ M only requires partial expert knowledge: it combines unlabeled data and partly labeled data in a large margin learning objective to bridge the gap between supervised learning, semi-supervised learning, and learning with hidden structures. To optimize the non-convex learning objective, a novel global optimization algorithm, namely Parametric Dual Optimization Procedure (PDOP), is established through its equivalence to a concave programming. Finally, the proposed method is validated on an actual distribution feeder with installed PMUs, and the result justifies the effectiveness of the learning-based event detection framework, as well as its potential to serve as one

This paper proposes a data-driven approach to detect the switching actions and topology transitions in distribution networks. It is based on the real time analysis of time-series voltages measurements. The analysis approach draws on data from high-precision phasor measurement units (μPMUs or synchrophasors) for distribution networks. The key fact is that time-series measurement data taken from the distribution network has specific patterns representing state transitions such as topology changes. The proposed algorithm is based on comparison of actual voltage measurements with a library of signatures derived from the possible topologies simulation. The IEEE 33-bus model is used for the algorithm validation.
