Abstract: It is feasible to record and monitor the power systems’ dynamic behavior with the extensive deployment of phasor measurement units (PMU). PMU provides high-precision data in which has shown applications in many fields. This study gives a comprehensive prospective of the application of PMU in fault detection. Basically, this paper evaluates the application of this data for fault detection. In which, it is crucial to detect the faults at their early stage so remedial reaction can be taken to reduce the potential damage. Second, the incorporation of the PMU data into state estimation algorithms to achieve more stable and accurate estimation algorithm. It is demonstrated, incorporating the PMU data will increase the observability of the system, however more comprehensive algorithm to monitor the system and detect the faults is needed.
