Auður

Is a software platform for Synchrophasor-Based PowerSystem Wide-Area Control System Implementation. It provides a LabVIEW package for developing custom Power System WACS implentations using the NI-cRIO platform.

Contents:

This package is divided into two parts, utilizing two different synchrophasor data mediation tool-kits, S3DK and Khorjin which need to be installed in order use this package.

Each part includes three templates:

• An empty project, allowing the user to create a custom WACS from scratch.
• A project including Phasor POD.
• A project including a Load control algorithm that utilizes the Phasor POD algorithm.

Dependencies:

LabVIEW extensions:

To utilize this package the following LabVIEW extensions need to be installed:

• LabVIEW Real-Time: link
• LabVIEW FPGA: link
• NI-cRIO compiler (depending on the NI-platform used): link

Real-Time Data Mediators:

Audur provides two different templates, depending on the real-time data mediator that you will use and implicitly the control architecture that you will be able to use. These mediators have also been developed by SmarTS-Lab, and are available in the following link:

• S3DK: Smart grid Synchrophasor Software Development Kit
• Khorjin: An IEC 61850-90-5 Gateway for Synchrophasor Data Transfer with support for IEEE C37.118.2
