Power Grid's mega plan to monitor electic supply

Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL) is working on what would be the largest project for monitoring and controlling of electricity supply across the country. Called 'Unified Real Time Dynamic State Measurement (URTDSM)', the central transmission utility would install 'Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs)' at all substations and generating stations. This would also form the backbone for efforts underway to integrate the large amount of renewable energy envisaged. The plan is to install PMUs at close to 1,300 locations on the national grid in phase-1; 1,000 have been installed. In the second phase, another 500 PMUs would be installed along with a network of Optical Ground Wire, for facilitating communication services in the power network, said PGCIL executives. The PMU network will facilitate monitoring of grid events in real time, such as power flow, voltage, backing down, demand & supply synchronisation, etc. This would improve grid reliability, reduce the probability of blackouts
