With the ongoing investments in smarter electric grid, several new algorithms and devices have been developed. Synchrophasor applications in transmission systems, distribution automation and adoption of microgrid are some of the most critical smart grid technologies. Synchrophasors devices provide synchronized measurements at faster rates for enhanced wide area situational awareness enabling number of new applications. Distribution automation helps in optimized integrated volt/ var control as well as conservation voltage reduction (CVR). Smart meter data also helps in load modeling and CVR. Microgrid helps in increased penetration of renewable distributed energy sources and high reliability. This talk will discuss several smart grid technologies and smart grid research, demonstration and implementation projects related to these critical smart grid technologies.Real time implementation of some of the developed algorithms using smart grid test bed at Washington State University will be also discussed.
