FORECASTS TO 2020

Executive Summary

US Leads North American Synchrophasor Market

The US has the largest grid in North America and

accounts for the majority of the renewable and

distributed energy generation in the region. It is

also a leading market in terms of smart grid

investment and project funding. North America is

the base for many Electric Vehicle (EV), microgrid,

and smart meter manufacturers, as well as

companies involved in the manufacture of other

microgrid and smart grid-related equipment. It also

leads the North American Synchrophasor Initiative

(NASPI). The US is the leading country in the

synchrophasor market in North America in terms of

value and sales, with a XX% share, followed by

Canada with XX% and Mexico with the remaining

XX%.

China Holds the Lowest Average Price per Synchrophasor Unit

The average price of a synchrophasor in China is

less than half of the price in most developed

countries, because they are locally manufactured

and tailor-made to specific lower standards and

requirements stipulated by the government. The

average price of a synchrophasor unit amounted to

$XX per unit in 2013. The following figure

compares the average price per unit for

synchrophasors in China with other countries over

the 2010–2013 period. China is also the biggest

upcoming market for synchrophasors by volume.

Introduction

2 Introduction

2.1 Synchrophasor Overview

Synchrophasors, which are also called Phasor Measurement Units (PMU), have been in use for

many years and are often built into electronic relays and digital functional recorders. They are

primarily used to measure accurately time-stamped voltage and current at numerous sites in a

power grid at a speed of XX times per second. The measurements are synchronized into an

absolute time reference, which is provided by a Global Positioning System (GPS). This provides an

easy way of analyzing values from different sites, and they are used as a wide area measurement

and control tool to visualize an entire power system. When implemented in substation and

generating stations, they can provide critical data that improve grid automation and operation. They

are built as dedicated units or to provide extra functionality in devices such as protective relays and

fault recorders.

Synchrophasor measurements provide the following benefits in terms of facilitating the efficient and

reliable operation of the electric grid:

Grid visualization

Operational monitoring

Power system control

Stability monitoring

State estimation

Fault analysis

The synchrophasor system contains the following components:

Sensors

GPS

Concentrator

Storage/retrieval devices

Time synchronizer



FORECASTS TO 2020

Introduction

Protocol

Network

Processing equipment

Phasor Data Concentrators (PDC) are installed at each substation and at each control center as

part of a hierarchical structure that sends data to the control center. At each PDC, the data that

must be sent and the rate at which data are required to be sent is predetermined. The PDCs can

communicate with each other and with central control via secure gateways.

2.2 Synchrophasors, Enabling Devices

Generally, synchrophasors are available in two configurations. Dedicated synchrophasors are units

that perform only synchronized measurements and send the data to a PDC. In integrated units, the

PMUs are integrated with protection relays and digital fault recorders. The function of synchronized

measurement is part of this unit. Integrated units are the preferred installation method for

synchrophasors, as dedicated units require dedicated space and infrastructure for implementation.

Most system operators prefer integrated units as they can be easily replaced with existing

protection relays and multi-function recorders.

Protective Relays

Relays are the most reliable instruments in the power grid and adding phasor measurement

functionality to them is therefore considered an economical approach. By activating the phasor

measurement capability in relays, the need for additional instruments and wiring is reduced.

Additionally, relays can provide information such as breaker status and relay alarms along with

synchrophasor data.

Disturbance/Fault Recorder

The disturbance/fault recording system records and archives time-stamped disturbance data such

as sequence-of-events data, fault recording data and dynamic disturbance data. Synchrophasors

are also embedded with such fault recording systems and provide both phasor measurement and

fault-recording information.



FORECASTS TO 2020

Introduction

Multi-Function Recorder

Multi-function recorders act as dynamic monitoring systems and perform functions such as

transient recording, phasor measurement, disturbance recording, sequence-of-events recording,

power quality monitoring, and data logging.

2.3 GlobalData Report Guidance

The Introduction provides an overview of synchrophasors and enabling devices.

The Global Market section gives a detailed account of the important factors driving the global

market for synchrophasors, and an overview of the challenges.

The nine chapters that follow provide country-level analysis for each of the nine countries

considered key within this market.

Each country section (chapter) discusses the transmission infrastructure of the respective

country, and provides details such as the smart grid market scenario and critical market

parameters, such as average price and market volume.

FORECASTS TO 2020

5 China, Synchrophasor Market, 2010–2020

China is one of the biggest markets for synchrophasors, which it is implementing as part of its

transmission infrastructure upgrade. The power transmission market in China is expected to be

driven primarily by the large geographical distances between power demand centers and energy-

rich areas, non-unified power grid and insufficient grid capacity, the incorporation of renewable

energy into the grid, and smart grid deployment.

5.1 China, Synchrophasor Market, Transmission Infrastructure

Electricity transmission is currently carried out primarily at the following voltage levels: XXkV,

XXkV, XXkV, XXkV, XXkV, XXkV Direct Current (DC), and XXkV. Most are XXkV lines.

In 2009, the cumulative length of power transmission lines amounted to XX Ckm, which increased

to XX Ckm in 2013. This total length consisted of XX Ckm at XXkV, XX Ckm at XXkV (DC), XX

Ckm at XXkV, XX Ckm at XXkV, XX Ckm at XXkV, XX Ckm at XXkV and XX Ckm at XXkV.

13.1 Definitions

13.1.1 Smart Grid

A smart grid is an efficient power grid that delivers reliable and low-cost electricity to consumers

using digital technology. It incorporates advanced technologies such as automated metering

infrastructure, sophisticated communication technologies and advanced storage systems. This

makes it highly responsive to demand and supply fluctuations, with minimal power losses.

13.1.2 Smart Meters

Smart meters are electric meters that record electricity consumption every 15 minutes and

communicate these data to utilities for billing purposes. The meters facilitate two-way

communication between consumers and utilities.

13.1.3 Demand Response

Demand response is a dynamic demand mechanism that monitors and manages customer

electricity consumption according to supply situations. The mechanism can be implemented in

residential, commercial and industrial establishments.

13.1.4 Electric Vehicle

The EV category represents all vehicles that are propelled by electricity. It includes Plug-in Hybrid

Electric Vehicles (PHEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV).

13.1.5 Distributed Energy Generation Systems

Distributed energy generation systems include technologies such as PV systems, wind turbines,

small-scale hydropower generating systems, and fuel cells, which generate power on a small scale

on the consumer’s premises.

13.1.6 Microgrid

A microgrid is an integrated power delivery system that is composed of distributed energy
