Measurements in Power Systems: The Activity of IMS TC-39

The increasing calls for decarbonization, and the consequent need for the energy system to integrate ever-increasing shares of renewable energy, place the electric grid at the core of an integrated, decarbonized energy system. This calls for Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and Distribution System Operators (DSOs) to fast-track the integration of clean energy solutions into the electric grid [1]–[3]. In this framework, whatever new management/business models can be envisaged for modern electric power systems, they must be based on the availability of suitable information. Consequently, the continuous evolution of applications in power grids stresses the need to define, develop, implement, and qualify innovative measurement components, devices, and systems for proper, effective, and efficient implementation of enhanced monitoring and control applications in electric transmission [1] and distribution [4] networks.
