NASPI (North American SynchroPhasor Initiative) Webinar - March 18th

NASPI invites all interested parties to attend NASPI’s first webinar on March 18, 2020 at 1:00 pm PT / 4:00 pm ET. To register for the webinar please visit the NASPI website at https://www.naspi.org/node/809.

During the webinar “Let’s Talk About Synchrophasors, PMUs & Applications” guest speaker Evangelos Farantatos, Senior Project Manager at EPRI, will be discussing:

  • An overview of synchrophasor technology and PMUs
  • Representative state-of-the-art PMU applications
  • Industry use cases that are based on vendor and/or research grade software tools.

In addition, given the transformations that the power systems industry is experiencing nowadays, especially with the massive integration of inverter-based resources (IBRs), a list of trending PMU applications and associated R&D efforts will be also discussed. Finally, limitations of PMUs for use in monitoring and control applications, especially in systems with high-levels of IBRs, will be presented, paving the way for the need of synchronized Point-on-Wave (POW) measurement data.

WEBINAR DETAILS
