This report addresses the critical need for accurate monitoring of grid oscillations caused by the periodic load profiles of large AI data centers. It provides an essential analysis for anyone involved in grid performance and compliance. Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) training data centers...

The North American SynchroPhasor Initiative's (NASPI's) mission is to improve power systems reliability and visibility through wide-area measurement and control by fostering the use and capabilities of synchrophasor technology. This report is prepared by the Data & Network Management Task Team...

Power system planners and analysts see growing opportunities in the use of higher-resolution, time-synchronized grid data for a variety of applications. This paper defines high-resolution measurements as those faster than 256 samples/sec., ranging up to a million samples/second (1 MHz). It reviews...

Effort being led by Jeffrey Taft (PNNL).

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are becoming prevalent on the power system, as is their integration into advanced power system applications. Performance characteristics for the PMU devices are formalized under IEEE Standard C37.118.1-2011 [1]. Formalizing the data requirements for PMU-based...

In 2007-09, DOE worked with NASPI to fund the development of an architecture framework for synchrophasor data networks. That “NASPInet” framework has been the prevailing guidance since that time, and various NASPInet elements were incorporated and tested in several of the SGIG synchrophasor projects...

Compliance with the NERC requirements for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) for synchrophasor systems in the Version 5 paradigm seems to be a matter of some uncertainty for those in the synchrophasor user community. In the words of the Edison Electric Institute, an organization that...

This report provides the methodology for identifying and estimating the benefits of using synchrophasor technology to enhance grid operations and planning. The methodology is intended to help entities develop defensible estimates of the the benefits derived from synchrophasor data and applications...

This report describes a fall 2014 survey of the design and deployment of the synchrophasor data networks used by some of the operational entities of the North American electric power industry. This survey was focused on wide-area networking for real-time streaming of measurement data collected by...
