Embedded Hardware Tests for a Distributed Power Quality Monitoring System

When distributed powers are interconnected to the grid, lack of source stability may cause some events that should be measured and stored as soon as they occur. This paper presents a real-time hardware system that has been developed for quick and reliable monitoring of the distributed powers quality. The system is composed of a digital signal processor (MPC7410, Motorola) and a 16 bits A/D board (VMIVME3122, GE). To guarantee the real time operation, it is based on a real time OS (VxWorks). Hardware tests of the embedded system have been made to check the performances of the proposed system. Test signals of several events are generated by using a LabView (hardware) system. The tests show that the system complies with the desired IEEE standard for power quality monitoring.
