Learn More About Our Power Utility Timing Systems
The modern smart grid is a highly distributed architecture that is dependent on accurate timing for coordination, protection and control systems. Our portfolio of power utility timing systems (formerly the Tekron portfolio) provides a full selection of GNSS time servers for every substation timing application. Our products are designed to meet stringent environmental-hardening requirements for power utility substation deployment.
GridTime™ 3000 GNSS Time Server
- Next-generation digital substation clock
- Fully hardened design
- Support for legacy and digital substation timing interfaces
- Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Precision Time Protocol (PTP) support for power utility needs
