Dominion Virginia Power is working with Virginia Tech to make the “smart grid” smarter by developing and testing innovative technology that will improve the electric grid’s efficiency and reliability. This technology, known as “synchrophasors,” does this by providing dynamic real-time information about conditions on the transmission grid.
The research project, funded by a $1.5 million grant from the Department of Energy, also involves Quanta Technology of Raleigh, N.C.
