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

  1. Success stories and lessons learned from field deployment of synchronized measurement systems and tools.
  2. Statistical analysis and deep learning for extracting actionable information from large datasets.
  3. High-speed waveform measurements that augment traditional synchrophasor measurements for additional resolution of high-speed phenomena.
  4. Use of synchronized measurements to support the integration of inverter-based resources.
  5. Incorporating advanced sensors into measurement infrastructure, including mixing different types of measurements and using heterogenous measurements to make decisions.
  6. Visualization and human factors, including cognitive systems engineering, decision support, and human-machine interfaces.
  7. 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)

  1. The use of real-time synchrophasor applications for the purpose of improving control room operations and grid reliability.
  2. Training to support control room deployment.
  3. Enhancing wide-area protection schemes utilizing time-synchronized measurements.

Distribution Task Team (DisTT)

  1. The use of time-synchronized measurements to enhance distribution system operations and/or planning applications.
  2. Benefits of and key success factors in deploying synchronized measurement in distribution systems.

Data and Network Management Task Team (DNMTT)

  1. Advanced architectures for networking and communications technologies.
  2. Experience with data networking, architecture, archiving, and other supporting technologies.
  3. Requirements for time-synchronized measurement applications, e.g., data quality and measurement uncertainty.
  4. Advances in synchronized measurement technology adoption through standardization, testing, or other technological accomplishments.

Engineering Analysis Task Team (EATT)

  1. The use of time-synchronized measurements in transmission applications, including advanced protection and wide-area control schemes.
  2. 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.

NASPI Work Group Meeting and Vendor Show - April 4-5, 2023 in Tempe, Arizona. 

Because I have been receiving a few inquiries, I wanted the NASPI Community to know that this meeting is an in-person meeting. The NASPI Leadership Team investigated doing a hybrid meeting option, but this option quickly became cost prohibitive.

The North American Synchrophasor Initiative (NASPI) Work Group Meeting and Vendor Show will be held in Tempe, Arizona, April 4-5, 2023, at the beautiful PERA Club. Our agenda will feature invited speakers and technology partners demonstrating their latest hardware and software. Expect presentations from companies and individuals who are exploring current and emerging areas of emphasis in networking and communication technologies, statistical analysis and deep learning for extraction actionable information from large datasets, and high-resolution sensors to characterize the transient behavior of inverter-based resources and other fast-acting phenomena. NASPI's abstract list of topics was long and sure to garner informative presentations.

Our distinguished keynote speaker, Chris Janick, SRP Senior Director of Power Delivery.
