The North American SynchroPhasor Initiative embodies a two stage vision for the overall project. In the near term, the project team seeks to use expertise and equipment developed under auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy to deliver immediate value to project participants. Most of this existing expertise involves off-line analysis and is supportive of planning activities. In the long term, the vision calls for delivering value within the operations environment using new inter-regional information and measurement systems. Both stages require buy-in and participation from industry participants.
The presentation will provide an overview of the NASPI work progress to date and also future plans for the development of NASPInet and other near term objectives for all the task teams.
