Abstract
With growing demand, increasing penetration of renewable sources, and deregulated energy market scenario, monitoring, protection, and control of modern transmission and distribution systems have become challenging. Two technologies, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) at the distribution level, and wide area measurement system (WAMS) at the transmission level, are revolutionizing the monitoring of smart power systems. The talk will discuss the basic structure of AMI and WAMS, and highlight some of their important applications. The discussion will also include some of the recent developments in state estimation techniques for transmission and distribution systems.
