Title: Discussion Board - Synchrophasors
Course: 2016FA-MCO-115-401 > Section: Module 2: Energy

A synchrophasor is a specific part of the smart grid. It allows for monitoring voltage, current, and frequency at specific locations on the power grid. Read this article How Synchrophasors are Bringing the Grid into the 21st Century to find out more about synchrophasors.

Based on what you learned in the article and from other, external research, create a discussion board post about a potential, practical application for synchrophasors. How would they be vital in a smart grid application? How would the application have previously been handled without a synchrophasor? Also, make sure to reply to at least one of your fellow classmates with a relevant comment.
