The high penetration of electronics has made the dynamic characteristics of transmission and distribution networks more coupling with each other
which leads to more systemic faults. Phasor measurement unit(PMU)plays a more and more important role in dynamic security control. Recently
the research of PMU for distribution network(D-PMU)is also carried out widely. It is of great significance to reduce the response time of step change and ensure the measurement accuracy of D-PMU under complex signal conditions. In this paper
a synchrophasor measurement method for protection and control is proposed. The influence mechanism of step signal on phasor measurement is revealed
the behavior of phasor model parameter under step signal condition is analyzed
and a step signal identification method is proposed. And then
the relationship between step change value and dynamic phasor model parameter is revealed
the phasor of step modification method is propose to reduce the response time. Simulation and site fault recording date test verify that the response time can be reduced by the proposed method which provides fast and accurate measurement data for smart distribution network to control.
