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.
Features & Functionality

Q-PMU delivers real-time phasor data across up to 36 phasors and 64 digital inputs, providing high-resolution system information essential for modern grid monitoring.
