Review Meetings with Project Participants

The Synchrophasor Data Conditioning and Validation Project sponsored by the US department of Energy Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions (CERTS) program was started in December 2012. The project objectives are to develop, prototype, and test various methods for conditioning and validating real-time synchrophasor data.

Task 2 of Phase 1 was a best practices report based on information gleaned from the interviews. Since the projects were typically not very far along, much of this second report was based on Electric Power Group, LLC (EPG) experience with the many projects they are involved in. The best practices report focused on design, implementation, and administration of these systems.

Task 3 of Phase 1 required design, development, and testing a prototype algorithm for validation and conditioning of the data itself. The prototype testing at this stage was only to confirm operation of the algorithm implementation. Phase 2 will fully test the algorithm using both simulations with error injection and actual data sets.

Task 4 covers outreach with project participants and the larger community users of synchrophasor systems. This report details the meetings and feedback received from participants.
