The second part of the presentation will focus on the synchrophasor work at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). In 2012, IIT installed 12 PMUs on its main campus with funding from Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI). In collaboration with IIT Facilities, the Local Area Monitoring System (LAMS) for Microgrid project has been gathering synchrophasor data from the 4 kV campus distribution network, which is home to the DOE-funded Perfect Power Microgrid. IIT collects over 3 TB of synchrophasor data per year from the LAMS.
In addition, IIT is leading a DOE-funded Industry Collaboration known as Synchrophasor Engineering Research and Training (SERT). The SERT project has three utility partners providing PMU data: IIT Facilities, Naperville Electric Utility, and ComEd. In addition, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) donated synchrophasor hardware and software for a new hands-on laboratory environment. The research focus has been on event detection, data archival and model validation. An overview of the IIT projects will be presented.
His job responsibilities at ComEd have included work in transmission operations, where he was involved in demand side management, load forecasting, and the implementation of real-time visualization of the transmission system in ComEd's control room. He currently works in ComEd's Transmission Planning department where he is primarily involved with dynamic modeling and simulation of the transmission system.
Alex Flueck, Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology, is the Principal Investigator of the DOE SERT project at IIT. He also led the LAMS for Microgrid project, which was the first widespread deployment of PMUs in a microgrid. Dr. Flueck and his research team are interested in sychrophasor-enabled event detection (voltage and frequency disturbances), model validation, and oscillation detection. As part of the DOE SERT project, Professor Flueck created a synchrophasor short course with brief introductions to metrology, IEEE C37.118, PMU hardware, and various synchrophasor applications, such as event detection, data archival, oscillation detection and model validation.
Dr. Flueck is a Senior Member of the IEEE and currently leading an initiative within the Cascading Failures Working Group on the interactions between power system dynamic behavior and protection systems. During a sabbatical leave in 2007, Dr. Flueck worked as a contractor in ComEd's Transmission Planning department alongside Dave Schooley, who is well known as a coffee and interstellar photography aficionado.
