About This Item
IEEE C37.118.2-2024 defines a key part of synchrophasor data transfer for power systems, focusing on how measurement data is communicated for computing and processing applications. It is relevant where synchronized electrical measurements must be exchanged accurately between devices and systems. By setting expectations for data transfer behavior, the standard helps support consistent integration, interoperability, and dependable analysis across power, energy, and related electromagnetic engineering environments.
About IEEE C37.118.2-2024
This technical standard addresses the transfer of synchrophasor data, which is commonly used to represent time-synchronized electrical measurements in power system applications. IEEE C37.118.2-2024 is concerned with the communication side of that workflow, helping define how data is packaged and exchanged between equipment and software. For users working with grid monitoring or measurement systems, it provides a structured reference for implementation, testing, and system compatibility.
Where is IEEE C37.118.2-2024 used?
IEEE C37.118.2-2024 is typically used in power system monitoring environments where synchrophasor data must move between measurement devices, communication networks, and control or analysis platforms. This includes utility substations, phasor measurement installations, and engineering workflows that depend on time-aligned electrical data. It is especially relevant in systems that collect, transmit, and process synchronized measurements for situational awareness, disturbance analysis, and operational support.
Importance in practice
In practice, the standard matters because reliable synchrophasor data transfer affects consistency, interoperability, and confidence in downstream analysis. IEEE C37.118.2-2024 can support procurement and design decisions by giving buyers and engineers a common technical basis for communication expectations. It also helps with compliance checks and testing, since implementations can be evaluated against a defined standard rather than ad hoc requirements. That can reduce integration risk in critical power applications.
