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 the Electric Reliability Council of Texas
(ERCOT) and California Independent System Operator (ISO). However, the systems are
in their infancy and are far from being used to improve grid reliability. This thesis
describes the only independent synchronized phasor network that exists in the US.
Thanks to Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL), we are streaming in points from
three locations plus the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) as of January 2009.
This thesis will describe this network and grid analysis done this far. / text
