SATEC model PM180 Power Quality Meter can provide Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) per IEEE C37.118.1 (Wide Area Monitoring System) PM180 PMU Features The
Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are rapidly becoming essential for Australia’s modern power network. By delivering real-time, high-precision measurements of voltage, current and frequency, PMUs enable advanced grid monitoring and fast response to stability events—foundational capabilities for today’s grid stability and future energy transformations.
This page is your general knowledge hub for understanding PMU technology—from technical standards and deployment best practices to regulatory expectations and grid applications. You’ll find clear, actionable insights on PMU synchronisation, data analytics and operational use in areas like renewable integration, fault detection and ancillary services.
Whether you’re a network operator, generator or energy service provider, this category equips you with the knowledge needed to harness PMUs for a more resilient and responsive electricity system.

Wind and solar operators rely on PMUs to verify performance and grid support.
By tracking fast dynamics like frequency response and RoCoF, PMUs validate synthetic inertia and fast frequency response. This ensures compliance with connection standards while unlocking participation in ancillary services markets.

Utilities and transmission operators use PMUs for real-time grid visibility and stability.
High-resolution, time-synced data helps detect oscillations, monitor voltage and frequency and prevent blackouts. As renewable integration grows, PMUs improve situational awareness and support compliance with reliability standards.

PMUs also serve research, industrial and defense sectors where reliability is critical.
Universities use PMUs for grid innovation, while defense and industry sites apply them to secure microgrids, detect anomalies and maintain uninterrupted operations. Their high-frequency data strengthens resilience and enables smarter energy strategies.
