Professor Jing Ma has been working in this area since 2003. His research mainly concentrates on power system analysis/control/protection/operation/modelling/simulation and smart grids. For more than 12 years he has carried out systematic research and practice on power system hierarchical protection, especially the approaches of local and substation area protection and studies on wide area protection. He was the first to introduce the two‐terminal network and voltage drop equation to the areas of local protection, and also the first to apply limited overlapping multiple differential regions for the protection of a substation area. He has invented a variety of wide area protection strategies using electrical information and operating signals to establish a wide area protection system with high accuracy and efficiency. A series of papers has been published in authoritative journals such as IEEE Transactions on Power Systems and IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery. The work has been widely acknowledged and cited by international peers, and some of his research results have been used in many practical engineering projects to accelerate the application and spread of wide area control technology. In recent years, he has undertaken many major projects in China, such as guiding a project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China to study wide area backup protection. He set up an advanced real‐time dynamic simulation laboratory for fault transient analysis of power systems, and pioneered the design and realization of the corresponding protection techniques. He has also been responsible for several projects for governments and enterprises on the study of the hierarchical protection in smart grids and was also a major member of the National Basic Research Program of China (973 Program) on the study of wide area protection and control for complicated power systems. He cooperated with China Electric Power Research Institute in guiding the study of integrated protection systems of the substation area and wide area. He has taught courses on power system protective relaying for years, and much of the material in this book has been taught to students and other professionals.
We were pleased to have Dr Jing Ma visit us at Virginia Tech as a visiting researcher. Virginia Tech has made very significant contributions to the field of phasor measurements and wide area measurement systems and their application to practical power system problems. Dr Jing Ma was an active participant in our research in this area, and worked very well with our research team.
I am glad to see that he is now publishing a book on Hierarchical Protection for Smart Grids. He is very well qualified to write such a book, dealing with topics on the protection of power systems. After reviewing traditional protection topics, this book goes into protection of renewable energy systems, substation area protection, and wide area protection principles. Many new ideas are presented in these later chapters, and I am sure they will be carefully studied by serious students and researchers.
It is significant that Dr Jing Ma is working closely with power system engineers and utility companies of China. This is one of the key characteristics of a successful engineering professor: to get the opinion of practising power system engineers on the direction and results of his research.
I am well familiar with the very active research programme at the North China Electric Power University, and this work is a testament to the vibrant research traditions of this university. I expect to see other research results from Dr Jing Ma and his team in the coming years.
Following some of the major power blackouts in recent years, the efficacy of PMUs and WAMS to help identify causes and provide countermeasures for dealing with widespread disturbances on power grids has been well recognized. These measurements have provided a very accurate situational awareness of the current state of the grids, as well as their vulnerabilities. The promising applications arising out of this early work are improved monitoring, protection and control of the power grids. Within a span of about 20 years after the invention of PMUs, many research teams around the world have been developing applications of this technology, and their work will surely lead to improved performance of electric power grids in the coming years.
This book, Hierarchical Protection for Smart Grids presents a comprehensive view of synchronized phasor measurement technology and its applications. It combines academic rigour with pragmatic considerations in dealing with the emerging discipline of smart grid technologies. I am pleased to see the work presented in this book, and I am sure it will be a valuable reference for students, researchers and practising power system engineers of the future.

As the construction of smart grids is being vigorously promoted, hierarchical protection has been proposed and has quickly become the focus of research. This book is the very first to conduct a comprehensive discussion on smart grid hierarchical protection and a detailed analysis of specific protection schemes.
With the integration of large‐scale renewable energy and the development of AC/DC hybrid EHV/UHV interconnected power grids, it is difficult for stage protection to utilize only local information to adapt to the changeable network structure and operating mode. Meanwhile, the integration of distributed generation causes the distribution network to change from a single‐source radiation network to a double‐source or multi‐source network, where the distribution of power flow and the size and direction of fault current change fundamentally. Thus, the original protection schemes based on a fixed setting value have major limitations in striking an effective balance between the sensitivity and selectivity of relay protection. In many blackouts in China and elsewhere, the improper operation of protection is usually one of the main causes of fault occurrence and expansion, which can eventually contribute to the collapse of a power grid.
Without the limitations of local information, hierarchical relay protection could solve the above problems in traditional protection from the global perspective of a power system. In recent years, many colleges, universities and power companies have actively participated in the exploration of hierarchical protection. A lot of progress has been made in theoretical research, together with some local engineering demonstrations, which have laid the foundation for the construction of hierarchical protection and overcoming the difficulties in traditional relay protection. On the basis of summarizing the existing research findings and learning from the experience and lessons of traditional relay protection, with research achievements of the author as the main body, this book conducts a forward‐looking discussion of the key technical problems of hierarchical protection construction in particular breadth and depth – including the constitution mode of hierarchical protection, local area protection, substation area protection and wide area protection – trying to point to an evolutionary direction for the construction of hierarchical protection.
This book strives to make the explanation of basic theories understandable and the derivation of formulas rigorous and complete. On this basis, through large numbers of case studies, rigorous verification of the hierarchical protection schemes introduced in the book which fit engineering practice is conducted.
