Chapter 4 – Configuration
16 PMU
Synchrophasors are measured and broadcast according to the specifications contained in IEEE C37.118,
Standard for Synchrophasors for Power Systems.
For further information about the PMU, see Chapter 8.
The PMU functionality is able to send up to 4 streams of data and the configuration is divided in two sub
menus.: Data; and Communication, described below.
16.1 DATA
This screen configures parameters related to the data and data transmission. These configurations are valid
for all the 4 PMU streams. The user must check the checkboxes associated with the values that he wishes to
transmit.
The parameters present on the screen are:
The <ENABLE> check box allows user to enable data packet transmission.
The <ID> text field allows user to enter a single PMU transmitter ID; the range is of 1 to 65534.
The <RATE> scroll box allows user to select a frame transmission rate; the range is of ...10, 12, 15, 20, 30,
and 60... frames per second.
The <FREQUENCY> scroll box allows user to select either a phasor, an analog, or a digital frequency to be
used.
The <PHASORS>, Analog data and Digital data fields contain all the inputs configured on the equipment. The
check box allows user to select the input to evaluate magnitudes.
The <DESELECT ALL> button allows user to deselect all the magnitudes selected.
16.2 COMMUNICATION
The RPV311 has two types of operation modes: Commanded; and Spontaneous.
When using the Commanded mode the RPV only transmits data when the client requests. This mode allows
up to 4 unicast streams of data through the UDP ports.
The ports the RPV311 uses to send synchrophasors are:
