Grid Protection Alliance GPA is a not-for-profit corporation formed to create and support open source software applications f GPA has been in business just over 3 years.

GPA Business Background
GPA is a not-for-profit corporation that seeks to build collaborative partnerships among government agencies, regulators, vendors, and grid owner-operators. These GPA efforts incorporate and improve technologies to create a more secure, more robust, and smarter electric grid. Even so, GPA has a significant position in the market place, and business is growing with an impres

sive list of current utility companies, electric sector participants, and government clients. GPA has no debt and is financially stable. The Grid Solutions Division was formed in the spring of 2010 to carry on NERC’s 5-year commitment to support synchrophasor activities in North America. Since that time, GPA has made three major releases of the openPDC. GPA is the prime contractor for a 3-year DOE project to develop a Secure Information Exchange Gateway (SIEGate) for the bulk electric system. Partners in this effort, approximately $5M, include the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Alstom-Grid, and PJM. GPA’s services and support business include contracts with Alberta Electric System Operator, Alstom, Dominion Virginia Power, Duke Energy, Entergy Services Inc., MidWest ISO, North American Electric Reliability Corporation, Tennessee Valley Authority, and Western Electricity Coordinating Council. GPA has recently completed a contract with the Electric Power Research Institute to create an “automated fault location” platform. GPA also has pending contracts with several other utilities, research consortiums, and government entities. GPA’s products, including openPDC, http://openpdc.codeplex.com; openPG, http://openpg.codeplex.com; SIEGate, http://siegate.codeplex.com; openXDA, http://openxda.codeplex.com; openHistorian, http://openhistorian.codeplex.com; and PMU Connection Tester, http://pmuconnectiontester.codeplex.com, are used worldwide, and an active user community participates in the annual GPA User’s Forum. Company Key Personnel
GPA has experience that is unique to the industry in the design, development, and operation of software applications to support power system operations. Much of GPA’s work over the past year has been associated with the development of synchrophasor data systems, but recent work expands into power system event investigation tools. GPA personnel include F. Russell Robertson and J. Ritchie Carroll, who have been involved in phasor measurement system design, development, implementation, and operation since 2004; and Fred L. Elmendorf, who has been involved in power quality for transmission systems, lightning data systems, and remote data acquisition since 1994.

Turning massive amounts of data into actionable information is a universal challenge. In the electric power industry, one approach is to leverage open source software (OSS). The OSS environment fosters innovation, facilitates collaboration, reduces time to deployment, and leverages community involvement. On April 18th, 2017, you have an opportunity to help shape the future of automated disturbance analytics and the OSS tools that enable engineers to make rapid effective decisions regarding the delivery of high quality electric power. Make plans NOW to attend the Inaugural PQ Dashboard User's Group Meeting. Open to all! No registration fee! [email protected] https://lnkd.in/eBXUpRh
