Synchrophasor Technologies

Projects

Current
DOE/NIST Collaboration PI: Ewing, Paul This project involves coordinating synchrophasor related activities funded by DOE/OE at NIST, PNNL, and ORNL. Specifically, it includes a focus on measurement needs, including IEEE 1588 timing, and other activities in the DOE/NIST interagency agreement...
Measurement of Phasor-like Qualities PI: Kirkham, Harold Devices called Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) report the values of (for example) amplitude, frequency and phase of the power system. These parameters describe a mathematical entity called a phasor. But the power system quantities are not phasors—they...
Synchrophasor Standards Support and Development PI: Martin, Ken This project provides direct technical support for industry-led activities, conducted through the IEEE and IEC, to develop consensus standards for the technologies involved in synchrophasor grid monitoring systems—such as the means for describing the...

Completed
GPS Issue Management PI: Buckner, Mark The purpose of this work was to develop a plan to explore the implications of issues on electricity systems infrastructure caused by dependence on Earth-based and Space-based Timekeeping and Navigation (ESTN) systems.
