Secure Time Synchronization in Power Grids and Network HIL Synchrophasor Testing
Reliable and secure time synchronization underpins the monitoring and control functions of modern power grids. As GPS-based timing infrastructures grow more susceptible to spoofing and jamming, their vulnerabilities pose escalating risks to grid stability. This work investigates a secure, resilient timing framework that can serve as an alternative or redundant source for p…

Implementing a Terrestrial Timing Solution: Best Practices
This document is an overview and guide on the concept of precision time and how an alternative terrestrial timing solution to the Global Positioning System (GPS) can be implemented. A set of recommendations and best practices, derived from research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, across industry, and within the US government are provided to enable implementation of a sys…
