Abstract

Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are critical for the Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS), especially for real-time grid monitoring, disturbance location, and situation awareness. Once they are damaged, the stable operation of power system will be affected directly and greatly. As new electronic devices in power system, their immunity to electromagnetic pulse (EMP) events needs to be studied. In this paper, an effective impedance measurement scheme is proposed for port impedance measurement of PMU. A non-uniform transmission line model is established to eliminate the impact of fixture in the de-embedding process. Then circuit of pulse current generator is established to generate damping sinusoid and double exponential wave applied to the port. Finally, by using measured impedance as load of the generator, the voltage and current responses of different ports are calculated in the pulsed current injection (PCI) simulation. Results shows the characteristics of port impedance, voltage and current waveforms. The relation between port impedance and the waveforms is discussed.
