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 helping to prevent power failures, analyzing those which did take place.

Providing the highest performance, and incomparably cost-effective, the PMU PRO is a true game-changer, especially in the field of Distribution System Operators (DSO). It communicates with 3rd party Phasor Data Concentrators, an important WAMS component in itself, enabling versatility.

  • Full IEEE C37.118.1 / IEC 60255-118-1:2018 compliance for both:
    • M-Class
    • P-Class
  •  Dual Protocol
    • IEC 61850-9-2
    • IEEE C37.118.2
  • Versatile micro-second resolution time-sync:
    • PTP
    • IRIG-B
  • Up to 240 frames/sec
  • Super-compact design
  • Expected Steady State Total Vector Error (TVE)
    at nominal frequency < 0.05%

Phasor Measurement Unit

  • IEEE C37.118.1-2011, IEEE C37.118.1a-2014 and IEC/IEEE 60255-118-1:2018 P-Class and M-class performance compliance
  • IEEE C37.118.1 compliant three-phase voltage, current, and positive and negative sequence phasor measurements synchronized to a common UTC time reference
  • IEEE C37.118.1 synchronous frequency and Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF) measurements
  • Clock synchronization to a UTC time reference using an IRIG-B timecode source or an IEEE 1588 PTPv2 master clock source
  • IEEE C37.118.2 commanded client-server UDP and TCP data transmission and spontaneous UDP data transmission over IP protocol
  • IEEE C37.118.2 reporting rates from 1 to 200/240 frames/s
  • Streaming of phasor data over Ethernet using the IEC 61850-9-2 multicast sampled value (SV) service with IEEE C37.118.2 compliant mapping of synchrophasor data upon IEC 61850-9-2 and IEC 61850-90-5 guidelines
  • Expected steady-state total vector error (TVE)
    at nominal frequency: < 0.05%
  • Streaming rate: 1 to 200 or 240frames/s @ 50 or 60Hz, respectively
  • IEEE C37.118.2
    • Synchrophasor data frames transmit a time stamped set of measurements that include phasor estimates, frequency deviation from the nominal power line frequency or actual frequency, and the rate of change of frequency. In addition, the data frame can be expanded to contain analog data (total active, reactive and apparent power, and power factor) and digital input status information.
      Phasor components can include three voltage and three current phasors, positive sequence voltage and current phasors, negative sequence voltage and current phasors, or all of them in one frame.
      Complex phasor values can be sent in a rectangular coordinates format (real and imaginary) or in polar coordinates (magnitude and angle). Phasor and frequency data can be represented in 32-bit IEEE floating-point format or as 16-bit scaled integer numbers. When using the integer format, the data conversion factors are provided in IEEE C37.118.2 configuration frames.
    • Client-server UDP and TCP data transmission; spontaneous UDP data transmission over IP protocol
    • Optional IEEE C37.118.2 frame extensions with analog data (total active, reactive and apparent power and power factor) and digital status data (up to 32 inputs)
    • The PMU PRO supports CFG-1, CFG-2 and CFG-3 configuration frames.
      In spontaneous UDP data transmission mode, CFG-2 or CFG-3 configuration frames can be sent spontaneously without an explicit user command. When enabled, a configuration frame is sent periodically every 30 seconds.
  • 5 data streaming slots for continuous synchrophasor data streaming via unicast UDP or/and TCP connections
