Abstract
The presentation will start with an overview of the Center for Ultra-wide-area Resilient Electric Transmission Network (CURENT), one of the two Engineering Research Centers on energy research funded jointly by NSF and DOE. Then some of the recent progresses on using power system
synchronized phasor measurements for power system monitoring and control assessment will be highlighted. In particular, a possible common platform for approaching “big data” analysis of synchrophasor data will be discussed. Examples for filling in missing synchrophasor data, disturbance triggering, and assessing interarea mode damping contributions processing relative phase angles, will be given.
