Synchronous measurement in electrical networks

Development of electricity market forces the power engineering companies to apply more emphasis to effectiveness of operation by cost reduction. On the other hand, there is a significant demand to increase security and reliability of transfer and distribution of electricity. This can be demonstrated by blackouts in Europe and North America. Monitoring of network status is focused and better quality of input information is required, than the traditional SCADA systems can provide. Widespread measurement of synchronous phasors can provide such information.
