How can utilities ensure resilient network synchronization as synchronization-reliant applications are added to their networks? Lockard & White and Idaho Power partner with Ericsson and SyncWorks to summarize application requirements and propose a phased blueprint for how to add synchronization capabilities when and as needed. From delivering frequency synchronization to evolving to highly resilient time and phase synchronization solutions, this proposed blueprint will help utilities realize the synchronization architectures needed to support their desired application suite.
