Description / Abstract:
This guide describes performance, functional, and communication
needs of phasor data concentrators (PDCs) for power system
protection, control, and monitoring applications. The guide covers
synchrophasor system needs and testing procedures for PDCs. It
includes functional requirements for associated interfaces with
phasor measurement units (PMUs) to a PDC and PDC systems. In
particular, it includes requirements for synchronization,
synchrophasor data processing, and real-time access.
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to assist users to specify the
performance and functional requirements of typical phasor data
concentrators and define performance testing for PDC systems. It
includes consideration of PDC latency, input and output streams
supported, interface and data transport protocols, the ability to
configure output stream payload, the communication media supported,
time alignment functions, error handling, etc.
