A Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) Case Study
Real-Time Operational Use Cases for Time-Synchronized Measurements With Synchrowave Operations
Total Reliability Solutions, LLC authored a case study on how Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) can help system operators manage real-time grid reliability challenges using Synchrowave Operations software. The challenge was to improve situational awareness and faster recognition of abnormal operating conditions such as frequency deviations, oscillations, SOL/IROL exceedances, large phase angle differences, major disturbances, voltage stability risks, and potential equipment failures.
Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) addressed this by using Synchrowave Operations to combine time-synchronized synchrophasor measurements with EMS, SCADA, relay, and analytics data in configurable monitoring and event-analysis dashboards. The solution helps operators detect events sooner, assess severity, identify likely causes, and choose mitigation actions more quickly; the case study highlights operational benefits such as supporting NERC compliance, improving restoration decisions, and giving users a clearer view of system behavior, though it does not provide a specific quantified ROI.
