SATEC solutions for Wide Area Monitoring

Wide Area Monitoring uses time-synchronized measurements from multiple grid locations to provide real-time visibility into power system conditions and events that may affect stability.
This area is particularly important for transmission and distribution grids, microgrids and other applications where changes in one part of the power system can affect the wider network.
SATEC Wide Area Monitoring solutions are based on PMU devices, or phasor measurement units, which enable precise time-synchronized measurement of electrical quantities and support event analysis in the power system.

Where is it used?

SATEC Wide Area Monitoring solutions are used in systems where grid stability, the origin of disturbances and the behavior of the power system need to be monitored in real time.

Typical applications include:

  • transmission grids
  • distribution grids
  • national power systems
  • industrial power systems
  • microgrids
  • systems with renewable sources
  • monitoring of frequency and rate of change of frequency
  • analysis of network events

What does the solution provide?

SATEC Wide Area Monitoring solutions provide:

  • time-synchronized phasor measurement
  • monitoring of voltage, current, frequency and rate of change of frequency
  • monitoring of network conditions at multiple locations
  • faster analysis of events in the power system
  • support for detecting and understanding the origin of disturbances
  • connection to systems for collecting and processing phasor data
  • better insight into power system stability
