NASPI Work Group (in-person) Meeting and Vendor Show April 15-16, 2025 - Minneapolis, MN
Call for Abstracts, Due February 1, 2025
The next North American SynchroPhasor Initiative (NASPI) Work Group meeting will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, April 15-16, 2025. We invite the synchronized measurement community to submit abstracts to be considered for presentation at the meeting. We are particularly interested in receiving abstracts that showcase innovative and novel applications of wide-area time-synchronized technology to solve operational or other electric power reliability and resilience challenges. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Cross-Cutting Topics
- Success stories and lessons learned from field deployment of synchronized measurement systems and tools.
- Statistical analysis and deep learning for extracting actionable information from large datasets.
- High-speed waveform measurements that augment traditional synchrophasor measurements for additional resolution of high-speed phenomena.
- Use of synchronized measurements to support the integration of inverter-based resources.
- Incorporating advanced sensors into measurement infrastructure, including mixing different types of measurements and using heterogenous measurements to make decisions.
- Visualization and human factors, including cognitive systems engineering, decision support, and human-machine interfaces.
- Any other novel and timely topics related to time-synchronized measurements that would be of interest to the broader NASPI community.
Control Room Solutions Task Team (CRSTT)
- The use of real-time synchrophasor applications for the purpose of improving control room operations and grid reliability.
- Training to support control room deployment.
- Enhancing wide-area protection schemes utilizing time-synchronized measurements.
Distribution Task Team (DisTT)
- The use of time-synchronized measurements to enhance distribution system operations and/or planning applications.
- Benefits of and key success factors in deploying synchronized measurement in distribution systems.
Data and Network Management Task Team (DNMTT)
- Advanced architectures for networking and communications technologies.
- Experience with data networking, architecture, archiving, and other supporting technologies.
- Requirements for time-synchronized measurement applications, e.g., data quality and measurement uncertainty.
- Advances in synchronized measurement technology adoption through standardization, testing, or other technological accomplishments.
Engineering Analysis Task Team (EATT)
- The use of time-synchronized measurements in transmission applications, including advanced protection and wide-area control schemes.
- Extracting actionable information from synchronized measurements to characterize system health, detect equipment failures, evaluate grid disturbances, analyze oscillations, etc.
Detailed Abstract Submission Instructions
NASPI will not require submittal of papers; individuals who wish to present at the Work Group meeting should email an abstract (using the submittal information listed below) to naspi@pnnl.gov no later than February 1, 2025. The NASPI Leadership Team will review the submissions to determine which presentations will be selected. Based on the number of abstracts submitted in each of the technical areas of interest, the NASPI Leadership Team may also invite abstract submitters to participate in the poster session. The poster session will be hosted during the NASPI reception April 15. We will notify all abstract submitters of their acceptance no later than March 1, 2025. Questions about the call for abstracts can be emailed to naspi@pnnl.gov.
