Abstract
Synchrophasor based Wide Area Monitoring Systems are deployed at many places in the world. This paper discusses an extension to the existing WAMS infrastructure that measures phasor data to also obtain instantaneous values in a time synchronous manner over a wide area. Extensions are made by utilizing user definable fields in the command and data frames of the synchrophasor standard C37.118 2011 Part 2. A practical implementation of the proposed extension in a free and open source PMU simulator, PDC, integrated COMTRADE reader and historian is demonstrated. A possible application of such a system is presented.
