• What happens when GNSS clocks lose lock?
• What does holdover mean?
• Why is it difficult to compare holdover claims between manufacturers?
• Why do we specify holdover over a complete range of environmental parameters?
• What makes us confident in our claims? We hold two patents
(US 9 362 926 and US 9 979 406) for ‘High-Reliability Holdover Method and Topologies’ which offer several improvements to previous state of the art. read more »
Stabilizing the Grid with Synchrophasors
Synchrophasors have emerged as a technology with the potential to improve grid stability and predict incipient failures, allowing remedial action to be taken prior to a catastrophic event. But challenges remain before this technology can offer global solutions. Arbiter Systems® is challenging the industry to establish standards for measurement and traceability. read more »
What is Accuracy?
When manufacturers use accuracy values to define the performance of their products, consumers should have confidence that, in fact, the products do perform to the stated levels. However, that is not always the case. This paper takes a look at several misconceptions about "accuracy" - particularly within the measurement and control markets of the electric utility industry - and discusses various methodologies that can be adopted to justify claims and ratings. read more »
Precision Timing in the Power Industry: How and Why We Use it
With costs to acquire precise, reliable timing in an affordable range, power industry engineers are able to apply the technology in ways that reduce costs, improve reliability and assist in the prevention of system-wide faults.
