Accurate and stable time synchronization is crucial for the reliable operation of monitoring, protection and control systems in smart grids. As an alternative to GPS-based time synchronization of Phasor Measurement Units over a wide area network, this paper investigates the performance of Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

Abstract
Accurate and stable time synchronization is crucial for the reliable operation of monitoring, protection and control systems in smart grids. As an alternative to GPS-based time synchronization of Phasor Measurement Units over a wide area network, this paper investigates the performance of Precision Time Protocol (PTP). After introducing time synchronization requirements in power systems and exploring the main vulnerabilities, experimental results related to a test PTP architecture are presented, in order to assess its feasibility.File in questo prodotto:
