Why is it important?

PMUs captures dynamic characteristics of power system which is not possible otherwise. Due to the advantage of providing phase angle difference, time synchronization, and fast data rate, PMUs deployment in the electric grid is increasing rapidly.

Perspectives

Writing this article was a great pleasure as I wanted to cover many aspects of power systems. This article also give its readers an in-depth analysis of current and future applications of PMUs in power systems.
