| | APRIL 201919The Right Tool for the Data JobThese days, it is hard to have a conversation about the future of any business without talking about data.This is certainly no different in the utilities sector. At Dominion Energy, we've known for a long time that data we can gather from our equipment is an asset. While hard assets such as transmission lines and transformers may have a book value, the value of data as a soft asset is no less in its enterprise value. Our "data-as-an-asset" mindset is reflected in our deployment strategy for synchrophasor technology. Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are sensors designed to measure and continuously streamhigh resolution, time-synchronized, phasor quantities from the grid. We havedeployed hundreds of these sensors across equipment on our electric transmission network providing observability of nearly all substations and transmission lines.Kevin D.
