A Practical On-line Framework for a Modified Energy Detector by Whitening Ambient PMU Data


Abstract A key application of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) is power system oscillation detection. An energy detector is a straightforward detection method, but setting thresholds requires extensive and time consuming baselining of data. This paper proposes a novel on-line method of whitening PMU measurements supporting a framework for detecting forced oscillations without requiring extensive baselining. An example of 24 hours of actual PMU data illustrates how a forced oscillation is very visible in the energy signal of the whitened data, while being hard to detect in the colored ambient noise. With this framework, the statistical theory for setting thresholds without baselining is much more straightforward and is the focus of future work.
