The first tangible evidence of the smart grid in Minnesota is coming this summer, and it looks like a small, black mailbox. The box, called a “synchrophasor,” is a high-tech sensor that monitors the flow of electricity humming across hundreds of miles of highvoltage transmission lines. By sending more information faster, the devices could help Continue reading →

Smart Grid capabilities will increase exponentially with the implementation of new tech devices called synchrophasors. What is a Synchrophasor? Well, for all you Trekkies out there, there’s no setting them to “stun,” and they do not emit neon-colored rays that burn holes in the sides of spacecrafts. Essentially, the synchrophasor is about the size of Continue reading →
