Abstract: Synchronized measurements have been providing important benefits for transmission system planners and operators through various applications, such as situational awareness, post-event analysis, model validation, real-time operational support, and advanced protection and control, among others. As the power industry is presently moving towards carbon-neutral with Distributed Energy Resources and storage, there is a need for improved sensor technology, including synchronized measurements. The distribution system has a history of low visibility due to lack of high-fidelity sensors. Deploying synchronized measurements is becoming very important to large number of applications in distribution systems to facilitate deployment of inverter-based resources. This presentation will address recent synchronized measurement development initiatives and practical implementation examples for both transmission and distribution systems, as well as key success factors to successfully deploy the technology. It will also address needs to create a framework and a roadmap for deploying synchronized measurement applications to provide optimal benefits and deploy reliable and cost-effective system infrastructure.
