Mission

The mission of the NASPI Distribution Task Team (DisTT) is to advance the uses and value of synchronized measurements on or connected to distribution systems of all voltage levels. This group shares information in support of effective research, development and deployment of distribution phasor (PMUs), waveform (WMUs) and related measurement devices/units. We aim to grow a community to solve technical and other challenges specific to synchronized measurement technology and its applications in distribution system operation, planning and analysis.

Point-on-wave data collected on the 20 kV network of EPFL-campus. Visit GitHub to learn more.
