| Summary: | The wide area situational awareness attempts at the expeditious detection of imminent system abnormalities and alerting system operators to take appropriate measures. Because the critical situation may arise in a system due to faults on transmission lines spanning over a long distance, phasor measurement units (PMUs) have become an indispensable measuring device to provide a dynamic view of such a wide area system. In this paper, the perception about a 200 km long transmission line has been achieved with the help of phasor measurements from PMU, which has the capability of reporting 200 phasors per second. The comprehension about the perceived event is accomplished by computing the deviations of current phasor magnitude as well as phase angles derived from synchronized phasor measurements using the phaselet algorithm. Based on the comprehension of the perceived event, a specific type of fault has been predicted using the Gaussian Naïve Bayes approach. In order to validate the proposed methodology, it has been implemented on a laboratory setup.
