Newton-Evans is currently conducting a two-pronged study to determine the perceived importance and likely trends affecting substation timing and time synchronization requirements.
Survey completion time estimate: 10-15 minutes
For Transmission Asset Owners and ISOs/RTOs:
This survey requests information on timing references used by utilities and plans to implement IEEE 1588, IEC 61588, and Power Profile C37.238-2011. Time synchronization is becoming ever more important in the development of transmission networks making use of substation modernization, smart substations, and other substation automation upgrades.
Here is the survey link for use by qualified transmission and substation engineers who wish to participate in our important study.

For Substation Equipment and Intelligent Device Manufacturers:
This survey requests information on time references supported by substation devices, the role of GPS, support of PTP, and PTP adoption trends.
Here is the survey link for use by manufacturers of intelligent substation devices that require time synchronization.
