Phasor measurement units and wide‑area measurement systems are rapidly deployed worldwide, prompting research into their design, placement, applications, and system‑level functionalities. The paper surveys the literature to guide researchers and utilities in selecting topics and developing software for synchrophasor measurement and WAMS. The authors conduct a rigorous survey of IEEE and IET articles from 1983 to 2014 to map research progress in synchrophasor technology. The resulting bibliography assists researchers and utilities in selecting topics and advancing software development.
Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are rapidly being deployed in electric power networks across the globe. Wide-area measurement system (WAMS), which builds upon PMUs and fast communication links, is consequently emerging as an advanced monitoring and control infrastructure. Rapid adaptation of such devices and technologies has led the researchers to investigate multitude of challenges and pursue opportunities in synchrophasor measurement technology, PMU structural design, PMU placement, miscellaneous applications of PMU from local perspectives, and various WAMS functionalities from the system perspective. Relevant research articles appeared in the IEEE and IET publications from 1983 through 2014 are rigorously surveyed in this paper to represent a panorama of research progress lines. This bibliography will aid academic researchers and practicing engineers in adopting appropriate topics and will stimulate utilities toward development and implementation of software packages.
