In last two decades, power industries have been deregulated, restructured and decentralized in order to increase their efficiency, to reduce their operational cost and to free the consumers from their choices of electricity providers (Eshraghnia et al., 2006). As a result of these changes, in comparison with the traditional power systems, new competitive power industries face specific challenges that are related to their generation, operation and planning. As a consequence of these challenges, new intelligent systems should be introduced and established in the power systems in order to tackle such challenges. Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) is a new term, which has been introduced to power system literatures in late 1980s. Recently, they are commercially available in power systems for purposes of monitoring, operation and control.
