Abstract

The use of synchrophasor technology in the Western Interconnection began with a collaborative project funded by the US Department of Energy. Various synchrophasor applications and tools were installed under this project. This chapter presents the details of the project and discusses the use of synchrophasor technology for oscillation detection and mitigation in grid operations at PEAK Reliability .
