Precision Timing in Digital Substations
Why do we need precision timing in DSS? Digital Substations (DSS) rely on devices distributed across different locations and must have the same time. This time synchronization is essential to calculate the accurate value of currents and support differential protection schemes and other critical functions that ensure the grid is highly reliable and expensive equipment…
