system states, stability and health, experiences an increasing growth throughout the world and especially in_x000D_
North America. The creation of the North American Synchrophasor Initiative (NASPI), for instance, has drawn_x000D_
the attention of researchers and utilities worldwide and has helped in increasing the quality of research in that_x000D_
area. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association (IEEE-SA) has issued_x000D_
standards on the performance requirements of PMUs and the test equipment required to achieve certification._x000D_
These tests as well as the requirements for the test equipment are known to be very stringent. PMUs need to be_x000D_
very accurate to ensure the best possible visualization of the grid condition and ensure reliability of the future_x000D_
advanced controls._x000D_
A synergy between Canadian companies, namely Hydro-Quebec's Research institute (IREQ), Vizimax and_x000D_
OPAL-RT Technologies, have led to interesting developments in the area of synchrophasors. OPAL-RT and_x000D_
IREQ signed a strategic collaboration agreement for the shared commercialization and development of_x000D_
HYPERSIM in 2012. There has also been an agreement between Vizimax and IREQ for the integration of_x000D_
estimation algorithms resulting from research at IREQ. The algorithms have been enhanced by Vizimax for_x000D_
accurate real-time estimation and standard compliance and the resulting PMU is commercialized by Vizimax._x000D_
In 2015 and 2016, OPAL-RT has collaborated with VIZIMAX in order to help them prepare for the official_x000D_
IEEE certification, by developing the required test rig on their real-time simulation platform HYPERSIM. The_x000D_
Vizimax PMU is now the second one worldwide which has passed the certification program. To OPAL-RT,_x000D_
this consisted in Phase 1 for the development of an integrated test platform and there are multiple other features_x000D_
to develop to make sure the platform can be used for official certification., program purpose french : The use of phasor measurement unit (PMU), also known as synchrophasors, for monitoring of electrical power_x000D_
