Mission

The Control Room Solutions Task Team's (CRSTT's) mission is to work collectively with other NASPI task teams to advance the use of real-time synchronized measurements for the purpose of improving control room operations and grid reliability. This team will utilize its experience and regional diversity to provide advice, direction, support and guidance to NASPI stakeholders and other organizations involved in the development and implementation of real-time synchronized measurement applications.

EA007 – Observed Oscillations with New Wind Gen near Steel Mill

Release Date
Document Subject Area
CRSTT Use Case
Description
An oscillation was observed in the frequency and voltage data from a single PMU in an area with several PMUs. The map below (see Figure 1) shows the relative location of three PMUs on the NPPD system. A significant customer (steel mill) is physically located somewhere near the end of the word...

EA006 - Post-Event Analysis of a Compound Event Using Synchrophasor Data

Release Date
Document Subject Area
CRSTT Use Case
Description
A post-event analysis was conducted by ERCOT engineers for a compound event on the grid. In the process of analyzing a loss-of-generation event using PMU data, ERCOT engineers discovered other disturbances immediately before the loss of generation. This triggered a more in-depth analysis of these...

EA005 - Using Synchrophasor Data to Analyze HVDC and SVC Response to Events

Release Date
Document Subject Area
CRSTT Use Case
Description
ATC implemented a back to back HVDC system in 2014 and a Static Var Compensation [SVC] system in 2017. We have SCADA data available from each site scanning every 4 seconds and we also have high speed fault recording at both sites but neither of these data sources provided a picture of the dynamic...
