description: Modern smart grids networks utilize synchrophasor technology in the wide area monitoring and control of the electrical network. Phasor Measurement Unit devices measure the analog electrical signals and records them as phasors synchronized by GPS timestamps to determine system state. GPS signals and provided timestamp data are at risk of denial of service, or data spoofing, by malicious actors targeting GPS receivers. Attacks on time synchronization in power systems cause false system state information such as phase angle error to be reported. To validate that the synchrophasor data being used in control decisions are the timestamped correctly, this project establishes a secondary time source to validate the synchrony of the data measurements so that the control system can make accurate decisions for the grid.
