ABSTRACT:
Grid modernization is happening. Goals of the nationwide/worldwide initiatives are ambitious. Reliability, efficiency, recovery, versatility, and profitability are all required. These improvements for the most part are based on better observability and controllability of the grid conditions. Observability and controllability are both based on measurement data. With so much hinging on data, metrology as the source of all data becomes a key enabler for success.
