Description
The electrical distribution systems in particle accelerator facilities, typically use standard SCADA systems characterized by slower dynamics. To improve the observability and responsiveness of these networks, the integration of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) is proposed. These devices are capable of monitoring voltage and current fluctuations in real time, providing critical data that can be utilized either by the control room or directly by power electronics actuators. This allows for immediate decision-making and actions based on real-time data. As part of the RF2.0 Horizon Europe project, CERN together with Zaphiro plan to install 22 PMUs across CERN’s electrical network, significantly enhancing its monitoring capabilities.
