Smart grid concept is a significantly important topic all over the world. The consumers should be supplied with power sources that is as clean as possible. The quality of delivered power depends on parameters defined in various standards such as The Electrical Distribution System Supply Reliability and Quality of Electricity Regulation in Turkey. To achieve complete control on the grid, Power Quality (PQ) should be monitored and controlled at the end of the distribution system. Considering the number of the consumers in the distribution system, this is achieved by designing a stand-alone and real-time Power Quality Monitoring device, which can monitor adjacent consumers but at the same time with the lowest possible cost. In Turkish distribution system topology, there exists 12 feeders at the transformer substations at most. Hence a required monitoring system should be able to measure voltage and current phases of two sides of the transformer and current phases of the 12 feeders. The main objective of this study is to measure standard-defined power quality parameters for 64 sources in real-time with a circuit that is fitting in the smallest FPGA possible. Within the scope of this thesis, a real-time system, which may form the processing sub-system of a power quality monitoring device that is capable of measuring PQ parameters in accordance with international standard IEC 61000-4-30, is implemented on FPGA. The developed system is evaluated using synthetic test data constructed on MatLAB and the results are compared with the expected values.

Atalik, Tevhid; ÇADIRCI, IŞIK; Demirci, Turan; Ermiş, Muammer; İNAN, TOLGA; Kalaycioglu, Alper Sabri; Salor, Ozgul (2014-03-01)
This paper is devoted to the design and implementation of a multipurpose platform (MPP) for power system monitoring and analysis. This MPP is a novel device, which combines the abilities of a power quality (PQ) analyzer, an event logger, a synchronized phasor measurement unit, and an interarea oscillation identifier, all in one device. The multiple functions of the proposed MPP can serve the needs of the power system operators (SOs) as a wide-area monitoring system to observe the states and stability of the...
Optimal phasor measurement unit (PMU) placement for the power systems with existing SCADA measurements
Ertürk, Bulut; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
It is extremely important to maintain efficiency, sustainability and reliability of the generation, transmission and distribution of the electrical energy; hence it is mandatory to monitor the system in real time. State estimation has a key role in real time monitoring of a power system. The considered power system has to be observable in order to perform state estimation. Traditionally, power system state estimators employ SCADA measurements. However, as the number of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) increa...

In this paper, an integrated knowledge discovery strategy for high dimensional spatial power quality event data is proposed. Real time, distributed measuring of the electricity transmission system parameters provides huge number of time series power quality events. The proposed method aims to construct characteristic event distribution and interaction models for individual power quality sensors and the whole electricity transmission system by considering feasibility, time and accuracy concerns. In order to ...
