EXPERIMENTAL / PERSONAL R&D PROJECT
GridPhase / GridPulse
Exploring GNSS-synchronized measurement of power-grid phase and frequency.
GridPhase is an experimental engineering project rather than a primary commercial Kostet product. It started as a practical investigation into whether geographically distributed, accurately synchronized mains measurements can reveal useful information about grid behaviour and power transfer.
The project uses GNSS-referenced nodes to timestamp mains zero crossings and sends raw observations to a central system for phase, frequency, visualization and experimental analysis. It also provides a useful testbed for timing, distributed sensing and data-analysis techniques that are relevant to other engineering work.
What is being explored
- GNSS / 1 PPS synchronized distributed measurement
- Centralized phase and frequency analysis
- Multi-node visualization and event detection
- Relationship between measured phase behaviour and power-grid dynamics
- Low-cost contributor-style measurement nodes

Interested in the experiment?
GridPhase is presented here as an R&D project. If the underlying measurement, synchronization or distributed-sensing techniques are relevant to an engineering problem, Kostet can discuss them in that context.
