Network traffic analysis of micro PMU communication at university campus

This paper describes the traffic analyses of syncrophasor transmissions from micro phasor measurement units (micro-PMU). A monitoring infrastructure at Universidade Federal do Paraná is responsible for communication, processing and storage of electric measurements from PMUs, phasor data concentrator (PDCs), power meters, and energy quality analysers. Investigation of packet loss and delay were performed. Good characterization of data traffic should allow appropriate design and correct deployment of larger monitoring and control infrastructures.
