Phasor Measurement

Scalable synchrophasor monitoring across generation, transmission, and distribution
IEEE C37.118-compliant platform for wide-area grid stability applications

Scalable, high-performance synchrophasor monitoring for modern power grids

The Qualitrol Q-PMU is a modular Phasor Measurement Unit built for reliable operation in harsh substation environments. IEEE C37.118 compliant, it streams real-time synchronised voltage, current, and frequency data from up to ten three-phase circuits—delivering clear visibility into grid dynamics with a compact footprint and easy web-based setup.

Wide-Area System Visibility

Enable network-wide monitoring by streaming synchronised phasor data from multiple substations. Operators gain a comprehensive view of voltage, current, and frequency behaviour in real time.

Grid Protection & Control

Support advanced automation and protection schemes, such as islanding detection, voltage stability assessments, and control actions triggered by synchrophasor insights.

 

 

Event Detection & Remedial Action

Instantly identify abnormal network behaviour and guide appropriate responses. Phasor data acts as an early warning system, preventing cascading failures and outages.

 

 

 

 

Flexible Deployment Across Network Layers

Deploy at generation, transmission, or distribution points. Whether augmenting high-speed backbone visibility or synchronising distributed systems, Q-PMU adapts to any application need.
