Abstract
A data compression system capable of providing real-time streaming of high-resolution continuous point-on-wave (CPOW) and phasor measurement unit (PMU) measurements is proposed. Referred to as adaptive subband compression (ASBC), the proposed technique partitions the signal space into subbands and adaptively compresses subband signals based on each subband's active bandwidth. The proposed technique conforms to existing industry phasor measurement standards, making it suitable for streaming high-resolution CPOW and PMU data either in continuous or burst on-demand/event-triggered modes. Experiments on synthetic and real data show that ASBC reduces the CPOW sampling rates by several orders of magnitude for real-time streaming while maintaining the precision required by industry standards.
