There is an interesting article in the Nov/Dec issue of Inside GNSS describing the robust measurement of "...voltage and current phasors at widely dispersed locations in a power grid". A Phase Measurement Unit measures and time stamps the voltage and current phasors "...thousands of times per second..." to an accuracy of <1 us using GPS. The authors discuss several strategies for dealing with jamming and spoofing of the civil GPS signals. It's a good read.
