PhasorNet A High Performance Network Communications Architecture for Synchrophasor Data Transfer in Wide Area Monitoring, Protection and Control Applications
K A Fahid, Prasanth Gopalakrishnan, Sushil Cherian · 2007
Phasor Measure Unit (PMU) deployment for Wide Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS) results in large amount’s of data being generated every second across the PMU network, the intermediate data concentrator’s and the central monitoring center. This large amount of data evacuation provides practical bottlenecks with the prevalent network architecture and communication schemes. This paper looks at this problem; by studying the underlying reason’s for communication bottlenecks and proposes an enhanced architecture to address this issue.
