Abstract:
In this work, a Three-Phase Virtual Dummy Load able to generate six arbitrary distorted waveforms is described. The proposed system, is able to emulate a mono or three-phase system of symmetrical/asymmetrical voltages and a lot of different loads balanced or unbalanced and three types of disturbances. The proposed system is the testbed for a PQ energy meter prototype and is also useful to validate new algorithms for PQ events identification implementable in embedded systems.
