EnglishSYNC 4000 PDC
It can also perform protocol conversion from C37.118 to a number of common power system protocols, for interfacing with SCADA, EMS or other third party applications. User friendly tools for configuration and diagnostics make engineering, system integration and commissioning quick and easy. The SYNC 4000 PDC can collect data streams from up to 100 PMUs simultaneously at rates of 60 samples/sec. The SYNC 4000 is based on standard quad-core server hardware.
Synchrophasor measurement is being widely adopted and deployed on many power systems, as their benefits in power systems operations become accepted. A wide variety of devices now support synchrophasors, from stand-alone PMU's, to protection relays, meters, fault recorders and other substation devices. Standardization of synchrophasor communications by IEEE C37.118 allow users to select best-of-breed equipment from various vendors, and integrate them into their applications. However, as the number of installed synchrophasor capable devices increase, utilities and integrators begin to face the problem of scalability in integrating large numbers of these devices. The SYNC 4000 is designed with scalability and performance as the key objectives. The current generation SYNC 4000 can handle up to 1000 PMUs.
