Smart grid power quality and stability measurements in Europe

A description is given of a new EU funded project on metrology in support of smart electrical grids. This project is a partnership of 14 EU NMIs and two universities. Research themes are described including: i) wide-area power quality (PQ) propagation, ii) Phasor measurement Units (PMU) for distribution networks, iii) network impedance measurements and iv) transducer metrology in support of PMU/PQ.
