About FNET/GridEye

Operated by the Power Information Technology Laboratory at the University of Tennessee, FNET/GridEye is a low-cost, quickly deployable GPS-synchronized wide-area frequency measurement network. High dynamic accuracy Frequency Disturbance Recorders (FDRs) are used to measure the frequency, phase angle, and voltage of the power system at ordinary 120 V outlets. The measurement data are continuously transmitted via the Internet to the FNET/GridEye servers hosted at the University of Tennessee and Virginia Tech. The Power IT Lab has developed several applications which use the FNET/GridEye data to study the power system, including:


  • Event detection and location
  • Oscillation detection
  • Animations of frequency and angle perturbations
  • Integration of renewables into the power grid
  • Detection of system breakup or islanding
  • Providing grid control input signals 
  • Prediction of grid instability and reduction of blackouts

FNET/GridEye Consortium

The FNET/GridEye Industry Consortium was formed to pool resources to support FNET/GridEye operations and research. Among other benefits, Consortium member companies have access to automatic power grid event alert e-mails. This e-mail includes event size (MW) and location information whenever possible, as well as event data plots. Members also have access to the FNET/GridEye event website, which documents the most recent major events.

Contact Professor Yilu Liu ([email protected]) if you would like to learn more about the FNET/GridEye Industry Consortium.


FDR MapFNET/GridEye Application Research

  • Generator trip detection, location, and size estimation
  • Oscillation detection and location
  • Large load drop detection and location
  • Post-disturbance scenario reconstruction
  • System models validation
  • Oscillation damping control
  • Interconnection and local inertia monitoring
  • Wide-area frequency and angle visualization and graphic display
  • Observe propagation of frequency disturbances as electromechanical waves


Interested in Hosting an FDR?

FNET/GridEye is seeking universities, schools, research institutions, utilities, businesses, and qualified individual hosts to support the expansion and continued operation of its global frequency-monitoring network.

An FDR is a compact, GPS-synchronized measurement device that records local power-system frequency, voltage, and phase angle from a standard electrical outlet. A suitable host site typically provides:

  • A secure indoor location
  • A reliable Internet connection
  • Access to a standard electrical outlet
  • Adequate GPS reception, usually near a window with a clear view of the sky
  • Willingness to keep the unit connected and operational
