Synchrophasor design based on a DSP-microcontroller

The design of a synchrophasor based on a DSP-microcontroller (C2000 family) is presented in this article. The standard temporal reference of this system is generated with a signal of 1 pulse per second (1PPS) from a Global Positioning System (GPS), this lets the measurement of the phase between two electrical signals that can be located far away one from the other. Synchrophasor is the acronym of synchronized phasor and it is a phasor measured and calculated by sampling with a standard temporal reference.
