Implementation and lessons learned from the Texas Synchrophasor Network

For decades, power engineers have used simulations to predict grid stability and voltage phase angles. Only recently have equipment been available to actually measure phase angle at points hundreds of miles away. A few of these systems are presently operating in the US by electric grids including th...
