Abstract:
A new platform for Power Quality measurement based on PIC 32 family microcontroller has been realized and tested. The board is able to determine the frequency of the mains implementing the Curve Fitting Algorithm and is able to detect punctual events as short interruptions. The device allows performing high accuracy measurements and is a good candidate as platform to use in civil suit in the subject of Power Quality analysis.
