The need for accurate time and timing in the energy and utility markets remains  important. These critical infratructure industries need above all to ensure high availability of their networks and services.  Time servers and monitoring systems enable these industries to have confidence in the source of time and can prove it remained fit for purpose throught the business.

Power Systems

Precision time synchronisation of power system devices is essential for equipment alignment, power generation and transfer, monitoring and control to increase reliability and efficiency. Power blackouts have demonstrated to power companies the need for improved time synchronisation throughout power grid(s). Analyses of blackouts have led many companies to place GPS-based time synchronisation devices in power plants and substations,

Chronos is one of the leading organisations involved in the provision of GNSS timing systems for the power industry and also in the technology and implementation of IEEE1588 systems.

Oil and Gas

The Oil and Gas industry was one of the first industrial sectors to embrace the possibilities of GNSS technology. From seismic exploration, dynamic marine positioning, survey and construction to dynamic positioning drilling operations the full range of technology is utilised to improve efficiency, safety and availability of assets throughout the collection lifecycle.

Chronos represent providers of products for the Oil and Gas Industry including precision positioning equipment (GNSS receivers), GNSS infrastructure (Antennas and distribution) and have relationships with the key service providers in this field to enable the highly accurate dynamic positioning systems.
