Phasor Data Concentrator

A Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC) is a device used in electrical power systems to gather real-time digital signals called phasor measurements from multiple sensors across the network. It synchronizes and aggregates these data points to provide a comprehensive view of the system's electrical state, such as voltage and current angles. This information helps utilities monitor, analyze, and manage the power grid efficiently, ensuring stability, reliability, and quick response to any issues. Essentially, a PDC acts as a centralized hub that collects and processes synchronized data for better grid control.
