Role of Synchrophasors in Smart Grids

Synchrophasors (or Phasor Measurement Units, as they are called) introduce the concept of time-synchronized measurements, utilizing the precise time signal from GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites. Additionally, they significantly increase their sampling resolution compared to ordinary smart meters.
