According to the article, utility companies where already using
synchrophasors technology to visualize in real-time information about power distribution and quality. Some of the questions that phasor synchronization answered are:
• Proper phasing within a substation breaker panel lineup without using additional test equipment.
• Provided substation system topologies and data measurement refinements.
• Improved visualization over a wide area by aligning data with varying data rates.
• Analysis of disturbances in a power system, including small ones.
• Monitor and quickly analyze disturbances.
• No longer is estimation necessary since measurement is real time.
