Improved understanding of actual system events using synchrophasor visualization

Electric power grids throughout the world are being impacted by changes in generation mix resulting from regulatory mandates. The German grid has seen a massive increase in non-traditional generation and is in the process of removing nuclear based generation. These changes have not caused new power lines to become easier to get added to the system. This has resulted in changes to power flows that result in operating conditions never anticipated as the system evolved over the past decades.
