A Mobile Test-Bed for Synchrophasor Technologies Teaching and Demonstration

This paper reports a mobile test-bed utilizing industry grade relays, phasor measurement units (PMU), phasor data concentrators (PDC), power quality meters and an antenna, for teaching and demonstrating real-time synchrophasor applications. This test-bed was accompanied with a configurable current and voltage source setup on National Instruments' compact reconfigurable input/output (cRIO) platform and a conventional PC that hosts all the software used to interface with the hardware present in the system, which can be used for demonstration and teaching of all technologies included.
