Phasor Measurement Unit

A Phasor Measurement Unit, or PMU for short, is the essential building block in the platform called Wide Area Monitoring System (WAMS).
These systems were developed to provide an overall real-time health check of nation-wide transmission grids, predicting and hopefully preventing power failures, analyzing those which did take place.

The SATEC PMU is a unique product. It is implemented as an add-on card for the PM180, together with other functionalities, such as power quality monitoring and fault recording, making it highly cost-effective. It communicates with 3rd party Phasor Data Concentrators, an important WAMS component in itself, enabling versatility.
