PMU distribution line protection automation system is a new line distribution automation system.
for solving present problem especially of earth fault.
which is based on a Distribution Network Synchronous Phasor Measurement-μPMU.
PMU (phasor measurement unit), A stand-alone device or module. The voltage/current sampling data are all with a BDS/GPS timestamp accurate to US level.
Basic functions: • Phasor: amplitude, phase Angle, • Frequency (f) and Frequency Variation (△f/△t)

Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS)
• PMU measurements are absolutely synchronized with World
Standard Time (UTC)
• Wide-area measurement synchronization of multiple PMUs
installed in different locations
• Mathematical expression of voltage/current signal:

c. Do not rely on the master station to complete the fault
The Composition of Intelligent Distribution Network Condition Monitoring System Based on PMU Measurement

Distribution Network Usage Scenarios

Typical Use of PMU - Line Condition Assessment

Typical Use of PMU - Distributed Wave Recording

The recording data of all monitoring points in the line and station are labeled with absolute time at the level of microsecond. Any device can trigger recording when the preset start conditions are met. Provide a "snapshot" of the entire network based on the time callback of any event at any location up to the recorded data of all sensors. It provides global data for detailed analysis of events and facilitates process inversion, traceability, and early warning of abnormal state, etc.
