Power Hour: Merging Units and PMU Basics – Essential Technologies for Modern Power Systems
Join us for this Power Hour, where we’ll explore two critical components of today’s smart grid infrastructure. We’ll cover the fundamentals of Merging Units (MUs) and Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs), examining how these technologies are revolutionizing power system monitoring and protection.
What You’ll Learn:
– Understanding Merging Units: their role in digitizing analog signals from current and voltage transformers, enabling seamless integration with digital protection and control systems
– PMU fundamentals: how these devices provide synchronized phasor measurements across the power grid, delivering real-time visibility into system dynamics
– The synergy between MUs and PMUs in creating more reliable, efficient, and observable power networks
– Practical implementation considerations, including IEC 61850 standards compliance and communication protocols
– Real-world applications in transmission and distribution systems
Who Should Attend:
Power system engineers, protection specialists, utility professionals, and anyone involved in grid modernization initiatives will benefit from this technical overview.
Whether you’re planning substation upgrades, implementing wide-area monitoring systems, or simply want to understand these fundamental technologies better, this Power Hour will provide valuable insights into the building blocks of the modern digital grid.
