Frequency response analysis using automated tools and synchronized measurements

This paper describes the successes of using high resolution, time-synchronized phasor measurement data from across North America to perform frequency response analysis. The annual analysis is performed to determine the frequency response obligations for each interconnection and Balancing Authority (BA). This analysis utilizes R&D tools developed under industry guidance and Department of Energy (DOE) funding. An update to metrics used for comprehensive analysis for frequency response using high-resolution data is also described.
