Taking Phasor Measurements to the User

Power system engineers are well aware of the value of phasor measurements. An important aspect is transferring this data to the user, the power system dispatcher, the reliability coordinator, and to appropriate software. Any operator must know about, trust, and begin to get a feel for the information conveyed by phasor data. This new information should be introduced to the operators early in the development stage so they have time to "kick the tires." Phasor data includes the important phase angle measurements that can supplement calculations by state estimators. As is well known, a valid state estimator solution is the key to most all advanced applications. Other sections of this panel session discuss the use of phasor data for state estimator enhancement
