Synchronized phasor measurement systems are being widely used around the world and have become essential elements in the evolution of the operation of large electrical power systems (EPS). These systems, called Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs), are capable of recording and communicating dynamic data from the EPSs in a synchronized way by GPS and with a high sampling rate, generate a huge set of data that, among many applications, has the capacity to detect events. In this way, this work presents a data management system architecture applied to a real PMU system located in the state of Paraná, Brazil that detects and storages events using principal component analysis and Pearson correlation. This method can detect and store electrical events that occurred during the operation of the national interconnected system of Brazil with good results.
