IEEE C37.118 Master

Solution
The C37.118 Master driver allows the simulator to connect to one or many Phasor Measurements Units (PMUs), typically operating as C37.118 Slaves to stream phasor data. The simulator connects with the PMU, requests the configuration and sends a command to begin the data transmission. The received data is available for computation and analysis within the simulation model. The C37.118 communication protocol has been implemented according to the IEEE Std C37.118.2-2011 standard. Three communication protocols are supported: TCP only, UDP only or TCP/UDP.
C37.118 is the IEEE Standard for Synchrophasor Measurements for Power Systems, which defines synchrophasors, frequency, and rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) measurement under all operating conditions. It specifies methods for evaluating these measurements and requirements for compliance with the standard under both steady-state and dynamic conditions.
Software Platform Compatibility
Product Selection Guide
C37.118 Master requires software license OP3272, which comes with 50 data points. Visit this page more information on data points.
If additional data points are required, then they may be added via product OP3050.
Since real-time simulators come with one available Ethernet port, if additional physical Ethernet ports are required on the real-time simulator, these can be added via a kit.
Note that for applications requiring many Ethernet ports, the OP4510 and OP4512 simulators are not recommended.
C37.118 Master can be added to real-time simulators without the need for additional hardware.
A time synchronization module to maintain high-precision sync and time-stamping may be required depending on the application. For more information on precision timing, please this page: Precision Timing Synchronization.
