Description / Abstract:
This standard defines a method for exchange of synchronized
phasor measurement data between power system equipment. It
specifies messaging including types, use, contents, and data
formats for real-time communication between phasor measurement
units (PMU), phasor data concentrators (PDC), and
other applications.
Purpose
The purpose for this standard is to facilitate data exchange
among measurement, data collection, and application equipment. It
provides a defined, open access method for all vendors to use to
facilitate development and use of synchrophasors. It is a simple
and direct method of data transmission and accretion within a
phasor measurement system, which may be used directly or with other
communication protocols. This method was initially established by
IEEE Std C37.118™-2005 [B6].1
