This paper presents a experiment-based distribution level performance comparison among three Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). Several evaluation criteria, including the total vector error, the phase angle error, the frequency error, the rate of change of frequency, the response time, the settling time, the overshoot, and the algorithm window size, are selected to compare the static and dynamic performances of the PMUs under steady state and step response test conditions. In order to have a more realistic test environment, a test is setup in which PMUs under evaluation have exactly the same input signals. The quantitative experiment result analysis gives an end-user guideline to the PMU selection regarding distribution level applications.
