Description
Solutions for more precise power grid measurements
Due to the wider use of decentralised renewable energy resources, future electrical power grids require real-time control and monitoring to ensure stability under more challenging conditions. Digital substation solutions are increasingly replacing analogue instrumentation which are approaching the end of their useful lifespan. Calibration methods for digital substation equipment are still inadequate. Moreover, solutions for the use of higher sampling rates and new timing protocols need to be developed.
Project will provide yet missing solutions for calibration and timing of the new type of digital substation instrumentation.
VTT MIKES will extend reference SAMU hardware to allow handling of higher sampling rates needed for measurement of harmonics and DC power quality as well as define best practices for designing and deploying robust communication and timing networks.
Call 2021: Metrology Support for Regulation and Standards
The project (21NRM02 Digital-IT) has received funding from the European Partnership on Metrology, co-financed from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme and by the Participating States.
