Research Project
Full description Phasor measurement units (PMUs) provide time-synchronised measurements that support power-system monitoring, protection, and event analysis. Access to representative real-life PMU data becomes important for developing and evaluating event-detection and classification methods. However, open-access datasets containing real-world PMU events from distribution networks remain limited. This project presents an annotated, open-access dataset derived from multiple PMUs installed on Australian distribution feeders. The dataset contains real-world events involving voltage, current, and frequency measurements under a range of operating conditions. Events were identified using established detection and classification methods, then labelled according to their observed signal characteristics. The dataset supports the development and validation of PMU-based event-detection, classification, and analysis techniques using field measurements. It can assist researchers and network service providers in improving their understanding of distribution-network disturbances and in developing more effective tools for analysing future grid events.
