    Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU)
    Synchrophasor Measurements Improve Power System Stability

    • Provide system operators with wide-area situational awareness through improved visibility into dynamic grid conditions
    • Determine stress points of the electric power system
    • Detect and aid in restoring an islanded section of the grid after a storm or major outage disturbance
    • Instantaneous measurements provide early warning detection alerts that SCADA systems miss
    • Provides built-in system wide PMU analysis for future implementation of big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to proactively improve power systems and prevent outages


    PMU Captures Events SCADA Misses

    • The PMU provides the following synchronized measurements:
      • Individual voltage/current phasors (Va, Vb, Vc, Ia, Ib, Ic)
      • Symmetrical components phasors (V0, V1, V2, I0, I1, I2)
      • Frequency and Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF)
      • Built-in digital inputs
      • Analog
        • Fundamental power: (watt total and per phase, VA total and per phase, VAR total and per phase)
        • Displacement power factor: (total and per phase)
    • Supports P (Fast Response) or M (Precise Measurement) classes, user selectable
    • Data frame rates for 50 Hz: 10/25/50 frames per second; for 60 Hz: 10/12/15/20/30/60 frames per second
    • Data format: Configurable float or integer, polar or rectangular
    • Time sync standard: IRIG-B or IEEE 1588 PTPv2
    • Number of sessions: up to 2 simultaneous clients
    • Supports Ethernet or Fiber over Ethernet: TCP communication for header, configuration, and command; UDP communication for data, including unicast, broadcast, and multicast

    Resilient Cyber Security™
    A Cyber Secured Implementation Prevents Attacks on Your Power System Data

    • 128-bit AES encrypted communication of sensitive data including passwords, usernames, roles, and rights
    • 24-character complex passwords with password expiration
    • 512-bit digital firmware signature, to ensure firmware integrity when updating the meter’s firmware
    • Eliminate brute force attacks with password fail timeouts
    • Customizable role-based authorization with eight configurable roles
    • Physical seals requiring physical access to the power quality meter make remote tampering impossible
    • Security lockout prevents security from being disabled


    Multiport Communication
