Summary: This paper discusses the localization issue associated with distance relay protecting a transmission line with STATCOM, proposing an adaptive wide-area backup protection scheme (WABPS) to overcome challenges. The WABPS compares calculated impedance and referenced impedance to provide information about fault detection, fault distance, and fault resistance. Evaluation of the WABPS performance is done using synchrophasor measurement technology and communication channel in a simulated 230 kV, 50 Hz system with a 24-pulse STATCOM validated with PSCAD/EMTDC software package.

Summary: This paper proposes a robust wide-area backup protection scheme for transmission systems with high penetration of renewable energy sources. The scheme utilizes synchrophasors and does not impose rigid constraints on PMU locations. By replacing the faulted line and selected PEIRESs, and considering the response and control strategies of the remaining PEIRESs, the faulted line can be determined through a linear system of equations. The fault distance on the pinpointed line is also calculated and checked for added security.

Summary: This paper investigates the problem of cyber-attacks on Wide-Area Under-Frequency Load Shedding (WAUFLS) schemes and proposes a novel Reliable States WAUFLS (RSLS) scheme to protect against False Data Injection (FDI) attacks. The proposed scheme uses reliable system states obtained using a data-classification method on the Power Flow Measurements (PFMs) to perform disturbance calculation and load shedding. Extensive simulations on the IEEE-39 bus New England system validate the effectiveness and robustness of the RSLS scheme in evaluating system disturbance and performing load-shedding.

Summary: This paper presents a novel load shedding scheme that considers the active power ramping capability of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to address challenges in microgrids caused by low inertia and diverse types of DERs. The proposed scheme takes into account not only the DERs' reserve power but also their speed in injecting active power into the system, ensuring that critical frequency thresholds are not violated. Tested using a realistic real-time hardware-in-the-loop arrangement, the results demonstrate that the proposed scheme effectively detects slow DER responses and triggers necessary load shedding actions to maintain frequency below critical thresholds.
