This paper discusses the latest developments in wide-area frequency-based event location using FNET. FNET, meaning "Internet Based Frequency Monitoring Network," is a low cost and quickly deployable wide-area frequency measurement system with high dynamic accuracy. This project demonstrated the feasibility of using information from FNET to estimate the location of events in the electric grid. An on-line real time event detection tool using least squares methods was developed and tested on data from FNET. This paper outlines the methods used along with an examination of implementation feasibility.
