Usage of phasor measurement units for industrial applications

The number of phasor measurement unit installation is growing, especially in Europe since a few years. The collected experience of installation requirements and operation conditions as well as their behavior provides much important information about the possible usage of these measurement devices in real power system applications already. Generally, the phasor measurement technology is used to montoring the high voltage level of the power system, especially transmission system already and/or sometimes distribution system as well. This paper describes the investigations made inside of the industrial network to provide the information about possible contribution of the PMUs in such power system operating area.
