The research of synchronized phasor measurement units in Smart substations

Smart substation is the base of smart grid and it is made up of a lot of IEDs (intelligent electric device). Synchronized phasor measurement unit (PMU) plays a very important role in the smart grid, and a great deal of PMUs have been installed in China. The requirement of PMU in the smart substation is different from traditional substation. This paper introduces that the PMU is suitable for smart substation, there are several details that need to be complemented in IEC 61850 standards, and the paper gives some suggestion to improve it.
