This paper describes high-level findings from an innovative network of high-precision phasor measurement units (PMUs), or micro-PMUs (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\mu }$ </tex-math></inline-formula>PMUs), designed to provide an unprecedented level of visibility for power distribution systems. We present capabilities of the technology developed in the course of a three-year ARPA-E funded project, along with challenges and lessons learned through field deployments in collaboration with multiple electric utilities. Beyond specific applications and use cases for <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\mu }$ </tex-math></inline-formula>PMU data studied in the context of this project, this paper discusses a broader range of diagnostic applications that appear promising for future work, especially in the presence of high penetrations of variable distributed energy resources.
