Several decades ago, magnitude data collected by the SCADA systems was made available for power system monitoring. This data became the foundation of the classical Energy Management Systems. Around the beginning of this century, 60Hz phasor data emerged. It has resulted in the creation of modern Wide Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS). In view of the advances in hardware technologies, it is not difficult to envisage that the next advancement will be the capturing of waveform data synchronously at various locations of a power system. Such systems may be called the Synchronized Waveform Monitoring Systems (SWMS). In fact, hardware for constructing SWMS has already appeared. Since waveforms represent the most granular data that can be collected for power systems, a new generation of tools for power system monitoring and situational awareness is expected to emerge. This presentation will share developments in this exciting field. Potential applications of SWMS include stability monitoring of power electronics dominated power systems and condition monitoring of power equipment.

Bio The presenter, Dr. Wilsun Xu, is currently a chair professor in the University of Alberta, Canada. He obtained B.Eng. from China in 1982, M.Sc. and Ph.D. from Canada in 1985 and 1989 respectively. Dr. Xu worked as an electrical engineer in Canadian power industry for 7 years before joined the University of Alberta as a faculty member in 1996. Dr. Xu is an expert in power quality. He was elected to IEEE Fellow in 2005 and a Fellow of Engineering Institute of Canada in 2006 for outstanding contributions to power quality research. Since 2008, he has been holding the position of Senior Industrial Research Chair in Power Quality awarded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Dr. Xu serves frequently as a panelist, seminar speaker in IEEE and other conferences, and as a consultant for industry. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery and a board member of the Alberta Power Industry Consortium, Alberta, Canada.
