ePDC
enhanced Phasor Data Concentrator
ePDC™ is the next generation technology for Phasor Data Concentrators (PDCs) to time synchronize high resolution phasor data for use by synchrophasor applications. Phasor Data Concentrators (PDCs) are devices which aggregate and time synchronize (or time align) phasor data streamed from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) from across the grid. A PDC is a critical link be-tween the PMUs which collect the phasor data and the synchrophasor applications which use the data. ePDC is designed to accept data from PMUs and PDCs, time-synchronize all the inputs, and provide multiple time-synchronized outputs for synchrophasor applications. The ePDC also accepts data from other PDCs as inputs.
The enhanced substation Phasor Data Concentrator (eSPDC) is the same advanced technology made available on a hardened platform for deployment in substations. The eSPDC can be deployed on any substation ready computer.
Flexible Input and Output
Flexible Inputs
ePDC handles data from any PMU or PDC and supports all standard communication interface options. ePDC can integrate data from PMU's and PDC's from multiple utilities and control centers.
Key Features
-
Scalable and Robust
- Massively scalable input capacity. The base configuration has been successfully tested for over 1000 PMUs/8000 signals
-
Comprehensive and Simple to Use
- Configuration GUI's are easy to use and setup
-
Monitoring and Diagnositics
- Extensive diagnostic features to detect data format, data quality, latency and communication errors.
Low Internal Latency
- Internal latency is less than 2 milliseconds.
Integration
- Integrate with existing utility and ISO simulators and tools
NERC CIP 003-009 Compliant
- NERC CIP Compliance with role based access control
-
Flexible Deployments
-
- Extensive Output options:
- Tailor Output for difference applications - sample rates, PMU selection, signal selection, referenced phase angles
- Data Archiving -- MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Historians, COMTRADE files
- SCADA/EMS interface -- OPC/DNP3/ICCP
Flexible Inputs - PMU's, PDCs, IEEE 37.118, IEEE 37.118.2, PDC Stream, FNET

About EPG
Electric Power Group, LLC (EPG) has been pioneering the development and deployment of synchro-phasor technologies since 2000. Our principals have extensive experience in running and managing utility grids, investigating root causes of major blackouts (WECC 1996, EI 2003), and leveraging this deep domain knowledge to develop industry leading synchrophasor technology applications for wide area real time monitoring, visualization and situational awareness.
The EPG team has extensive hands-on experience with synchrophasor standards, networks, system architecture, deployments and performance analysis through work at EPG for leading ISO's and utilities including PJM, NYISO, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, BPA, TVA, SCE, AEP, LADWP, SRP, Duke, Dominion, NYPA and other companies.
