IEEE Test Suite Specification: Synchrophasor IEEE Synchrophasor Measurement Test Suite Specification--Version 2

standard by IEEE, 09/28/2015

Full Description

Scope

The scope of this test suite specification is limited to the testing of phasor measurement unit electrical performance. As of this revision of the test suite specification, the standard for phasor measurement unit performance is IEEE Std C37.118.1(TM)-2011, IEEE Standard for Synchrophasor Measurements for Power Systems as modified by IEEE C37.118.1a(TM)-2014.

Purpose

This test suite specification (TSS) provides organizations that are testing phasor measurement unit (PMU) performance with a suite of unambiguous test plans in accordance with the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) Interoperability Process Reference Manual (IPRM). This TSS furthere provides requirements for equipment used for the testing of PMUs, requirements for the measurements made by PMU test equipment, and requirements for the reporting of PMU measurements. Test plans and requirements in this TSS are more specific than requirements of the standard for PMU performance. The standard specifies the test signals to be input to a PMU under test and the performance limits that must be met by the PMU, but neithere specifies the test procedure to be used nor the specific calculations made to determine PMU performance. Without specific test procedures and calculations, tests that are implemented by different test designers may yield different results. Furtheremore, some ambiguities in the standard are identified and this TSS sets requirements based on a single interpretation of the ambiguous clauses. In accordance with the SGIP IPRM, the authors of this document will work closely with the standard setting organizations to resolve the ambiguities in future revisions of the standard. This TSS may be revised thereeafter to reflect the standarda??s revision once it is published. PMU testing organizations that participate in The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Conformance Assessment Program (ICAP) PMU Conformance Assessment Program must comply with the test plans and requirements in this document. Conformance with this TSS is assessed as part of the ICAP program.
