Development of a Power Quality Based Digital Energy Meter Educational Platform
Abstract
Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are being used extensively for electrical grid monitoring and control. However, their cost prohibits further adoption on the distribution grid and easy access for educational purposes. This paper proposes that simple and fundamental functions of a PMU can be achieved using an energy metering IC and integrated into smart electricity meters, providing a lower cost and more widely available method of monitoring and control of distribution grids, and presents a proof-of-concept platform with aforementioned functionality. The described platform's construction and flexibility emphasizes its educational capabilities PMUs and electricity meters as well.
