Recent advances in the application of synchrophasor technology

Paris Session 2018

Tutorial

In recent years, significant advances have occurred through the IEEE Standards to ensure that the accuracy of phasor measurement units (PMUs) is appropriate for power system applications. The first section of the tutorial will review the changes and discuss their relevance to industry. This will be followed by a review of relevant communication standards and recommendations. Other issues to be discussed will include communication performance and cybersecurity requirements that arise from today’s PMU applications and how PMU communication is currently implemented in practice. Some selected industry applications will be presented in this tutorial. There are numerous applications that have progressed beyond the ‘research and development phase’, while others are…
