Title: Time Synchronization in Power System Protection Applications – Current Technologies and Future Trends

Abstract: Time synchronization and network based communications are gaining an increasing role in power system protection and automation. While the IEC 61850-9-2 Sampled Values and communication based protection promise to bring system wide benefits, power engineers are justifiably concerned about ensuring that time distribution and communication problems do not interfere with protection system performance. Presentation asks: “Can time be made mission critical?”
