EIPP Real-Time Dynamics Monitoring System

The Eastern Interconnection Phasor Projects (EIPP) is a Department of Energy (DOE) and Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions (CERTS) initiative to deliver immediate value of phasor technology to the Eastern Interconnection (EI) participants. With the current EI phasor network comprising of approximately 25 Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) and 5 Phasor Data Concentrators (PDC) is operational, this paper focuses on the efforts by the EIPP Real-Time Applications Task Team (RTTT) to develop and deploy real-time wide area monitoring capabilities on grid dynamics to operators and reliability coordinators through the Real-Time Dynamics Monitoring System™ (RTDMS) as well as some of the planned activities that are currently underway.
