Synchro-Waveforms: The Future of Power Systems Data Analytics

Examples of real-world WMU installations in Riverside, California: (left): 3-phase 12.47 kV installation at a substation; (top-right): 3-phase 480 V installation at a PV inverter; (bottom- right): single-phase 120 V installation at a power outlet.

The Synchro-Waveform (a.k.a. synchronous waveforms) paper by Hamed Mohsenian-Rad and Wilsun Xu, both IEEE Fellows shows how synchro-waveform monitoring is a useful tool for power engineers. It discusses the latest developments in synchro waveform technology, power system stability, and energy economy. This paper goes over the basics of synchro waveform analysis, real-time power system monitoring, and techniques for synchronising large-scale power networks.
