With Precision Time Protocol (PTP) you no longer need to run a dedicated timing network through your substation.

With growing realization of the effects of climate change, interest in renewable energy sources is skyrocketing. That comes with challenges. One of those is storage -  you need to be able to supply power when needed, not just when it’s sunny or windy. Lately there's been a big push towards solar panels (photovoltaic cells) and battery development but recently I found several generation plants which harness the suns power in a unique way.

Wondering how PRP might be used in your networks or substations? Here Tekron software engineer Mike Smellie takes us through the basics.

Tekron has taken out the Wellington Region Business Excellence awards, winning both the Technology and Innovation category and the coveted Supreme Award. We're incredibly proud of this achievement and must thank so many people - especially our friends at NZTE and Callaghan Innovation.

By default, Tekron GNSS Clocks are optimized for static timing applications. After completing a site survey, the Clock will enter the ‘position hold’ state, which enables it to maintain accurate timing from few satellites. However, this assumes that the position of the antenna will not change.
