Characterised measuring system for PQ measurements on the MV grid

Gabriella Crotti, Domenico Giordano
Abstract:
The features of a Power Quality measurement system which includes both voltage and current transducers and a self-developed measuring instrument are described. The system is intended for measurements in substations at medium voltage level. A Rogowski coil and a voltage divider are the used transducers, whereas the measuring system is based on a Reconfigurable I/O-FPGA system with embedded software. Attention is focused on the procedures adopted for the characterisation of the current sensor, which is carried out taking into account the expected on-site measurement conditions, allowing reduction of the measurement uncertainty of nearly an order of magnitude. An example of use of the measurement system in a private substation that connects an industrial load and two photo-voltaic generation plants to the public MV voltage network is presented, together with the associated current uncertainty budget.
