About This Item
IEEE PC37.242/D10, Sep 2012 is an IEEE draft guide focused on synchronization, calibration, testing, and installation of phasor measurement units (PMU) for power system protection and control. It addresses the technical steps needed to help PMUs deliver consistent, time-aligned measurements in power and energy applications. For engineers and technical buyers, this standard is relevant because accurate PMU setup can affect measurement quality, system visibility, and the reliability of protection and control functions.
About IEEE PC37.242/D10, Sep 2012
This draft guide provides a structured reference for working with PMUs in environments where precise timing and measurement consistency are important. IEEE PC37.242/D10, Sep 2012 is intended to support synchronization practices, calibration activities, test planning, and installation considerations for equipment used in power system protection and control. As a technical document, it is useful when aligning device setup with expected performance and interoperability needs in utility and grid-related applications.
Where is IEEE PC37.242/D10, Sep 2012 used?
IEEE PC37.242/D10, Sep 2012 is most relevant in substations, control centers, and other power system locations where PMUs are installed to support monitoring and control. It may be used during commissioning, maintenance, and validation of measurement chains tied to phasor data applications. The guide is also useful for teams integrating PMUs with protection relays, time synchronization systems, and data acquisition workflows in transmission and distribution environments.
Importance in practice
In practice, this standard helps reduce errors that can arise from poor timing, inconsistent calibration, or incomplete installation procedures. IEEE PC37.242/D10, Sep 2012 can support more reliable testing and clearer acceptance criteria for PMU-based systems, which is important when measurement accuracy affects protection and control decisions. It also helps create a common technical basis for procurement, commissioning, and compliance review, especially where multiple devices must operate consistently within the same power network.
