Using synchrophasors to monitor the quality of electrical energy in electrical traction substations

Abstract

The paper presents aspects related to SCADA systems used for railway electric traction, monitoring the quality of electrical energy from electrical traction substations with the help of synchrophasors and SCADA systems. The SCADA architecture and the method of measuring the synchrophasors, the results obtained by the implementation of these technologies are presented. The SCADA system presented in the paper was applied in the railway energy dispatching station and in the national electric traction substations.
