Abstract

Synchronized waveform monitoring has the potential to enable advanced, automatic grid operations. Combined with novel processing and analysis techniques, waveform data can unlock several new capabilities - beyond what can be achieved with conventional SCADA- or synchrophasor-based monitoring. This paper serves as a review of these key emerging applications, such as transient monitoring, locating oscillations, and wildfire prevention. Various resources from the literature have been gathered, which represent the state of the art in this field. The paper also analyses several practical aspects which must be addressed to effectively deploy waveform monitoring solutions. In particular, options for the computation and communications infrastructure required for real-time applications are evaluated.
