IEEE PES Webinar: Phasor Data Concentrator Std (IEEE C37.247-2019) Part 3: Performance Requirements and Advanced PDC Functions
Presented by: Dr. Vasudev Gharpure, Quanta Technology and Dr. Mital Kanabar, GE Vernova This web-based tutorial: Part 3 of 4 – This session presents performance requirements for phasor data concentrators, such as data processing time and accuracy, as well as robustness. Furthermore, this session covers some of the advanced functions that may be performed by phasor data concentrators. Presenter bios: Dr. Vasudev Gharpure has been with Quanta Technology for 15 years and has 42 years of experience in various electrical engineering fields. He has designed hardware and firmware for digital and analog protection relays, phasor measurement units, phasor data concentrators, power system stabilizers, and other real-time embedded systems-based industrial products. He has also developed specifications for wide-area applications based on synchrophasor technology. His areas of interest and expertise include the application and testing of synchrophasor technology; protection and control of power systems; embedded control applications; automation and automated test equipment; distribution system studies using CYME, Synergi, and PSCAD; and power electronics. Dr. Mital Kanabar is a senior director of innovation in GE Vernova’s Grid Automation (GA) business based out of Grid IQ center in Markham, Canada. He has 15+ years of power industry R&D experience and holds 20+ international patent applications; and published more than 50+ journal/magazine/conference articles. Mital holds Professional Engineer in Ontario, and serves as a Vice-chair of IEEE PES PSRC Relaying Communication Sub-committee, and active contributors of CIGRE, IEC and NERC working groups. Mital’s team is focusing on customer-centric innovations and collaborations to accelerate Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and validating Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) with external/Govt funded programs. Mital has led design of several solutions, such as Digital substations with smart grid applications, advanced intelligence Apps for Electrification and decarbonization accelerating energy transition.
