Life Cycle Testing of Synchrophasor Based Systems used for Protection, Monitoring and Control

Summary

Synchrophasor systems are critical for future power system monitoring, control and protection. Their deployment requires careful consideration of life-cycle testing to assure the required system performance. The first testing step needed includes product evaluation before purchase to assure compliance with industry standards. The commissioning test, in service periodic test and troubleshooting tests are the next steps need to confirm that the system is deployed correctly, upgrades compatibility is verified, and system maloperations are detected and rectified. The testing steps include both device and end-to-end system evaluation.
