The Frequency Monitoring Network (FNET) is a wide-area phasor measurement system developed in 2003. It collects power system data using embedded devices known as Frequency Disturbance Recorders (FDRs) which are installed at distribution level voltages. These devices are single-phase synchrophasor measurement units which share a number of common attributes with their commercial counterparts.
Phasor measurements from FDRs across North America and other power grids around the world are transmitted over the Internet back to the FNET servers at the University of Tennessee. By analyzing the fluctuations in the grid’s frequency, FNET can identify disruptive events relating to the operation of …
