Abstract

This paper summarizes an investigation of the potential for massively deploying various types of sensors throughout electric power systems. Extensions of existing power system sensor data are considered, along with possibilities for integrating new sensors into the power system. The advantages and disadvantages of massively deployed sensors are discussed. The paper also identifies several innovative measurement technologies for power systems.
