System and method for transmitting power system data over a wide area network

Abstract

Provided is a system for transmitting synchronized phasors over a wide area network. The system generally includes a plurality of phasor measurement units (PMUs). Each of the PMUs are associated with a secured portion of a power system and measure power system data from the secured portion of the power system associated therewith. The power system data is associated with a time-element. A power system data concentrator is further provided in communication with the phasor measurement units such that it aggregates and time-correlates the power system data. A server is further provided in communication with the power system data concentrator. The server includes a program for transferring the aggregated time-correlated power system data from the secured portion of the power system to a non-secure network.
