New Synchrophasor Standards and Guides: Measurements, Data Transfer, Concentration and Implementation Requirements Combination Session

In 2009 the US Department of Energy announced the award of $3.4 Billion under the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program. As a result, many operators in North America were awarded grants to deploy a great number PMUs across their service area, with its related communications and IT infrastructure. The availability of this new infrastructure will enable the development and implementation of new applications that utilize time-synchronized dynamic measurements. This panel will present the recently developed IEEE standards PC37.118.1 and PC37.118.2, and guides PC37.242, and PC37.244, on synchrophasor measurement and associated issues. This panel also provides a synergy between the activities of the Power System Instrumentation and Measurements Committee and the Power System Relaying Committee related to the development of synchrophasor standards and the Dynamic Measurements Working Group activities on phasor data application development.
