Micro PMU

Micro PMU

Overview

Measure and understand the complex and dynamic power flows in distribution grids and microgrids with the microPMU.

The microPMU is like a microscope that has micro-second resolution and ultra-precise accuracy needed for distribution grid applications.

The microPMU is ideal for projects that need ultra-precise synchrophasor measurements for investigating stability and impedance questions. The microPMU can also be used for real-time control applications using the IEEE C37.118.2-2011 interface.

Applications

  • Monitor and understand stability of microgrids or distribution grids, and backup power systems
  • Event identification and characterization
  • Topology change detection (open/closed state of switches)
  • Detection of cyber attacks rehearsals at substations

FEATURES

  • Ultra-accurate phasor measurements : TVE 0.01%
  • Simultaneous recording and streaming of synchrophasors
  • Fast recording / streaming rate : 100/sec at 50Hz and 120/sec at 60Hz
  • Voltage and current phasors, frequency , active / reactive powers, power factor
  • Streaming according to C37.118.2-2011
  • Fully compatible with OpenPDC, and with PSL microPMU plotting application software
  • 30 days of micro-synchrophasor measurement stored in internal memory
  • Recordings can be downloaded via FTP
  • Configuration / firmware update via FTP or Web pages (HTTP)
  • Ultra precise mode (for grid stability analysis) or low latency mode (for control applications)
  • Easy installation (can be installed in electrical panels, on distribution poles, pad mount transformers…)
  • Supports connections via PTs and CTs
  • F ully isolated GPS receiver / antenna with cable delay auto-compensation
