Operational practices of power distribution systems are impacted by the increasing connection of renewable energy resources, electric vehicles, energy storage systems and deployment of demand-response mechanisms. The synchronized, low-latency, and high-resolution measurements that are provided by distribution-level phasor measurement units (D-PMUs) can enable the better operation of power distribution systems. However, data availability is only a necessary step to build an enhanced operational intelligence that is required by the future distribution grid. Data must be furnished with useful analytics to translate said data into actionable information.
