Embedded Electric Power Network Monitoring System

Electric power is the mainstay of a nation’s economy and the lifeline of industrial production and social life. All parameters of an electric grid, especially harmonic parameters, are related to the quality of electricity generated, which guarantees safe operation of electric equipment. Therefore, this design combines a web-based electric grid parameter measurement system with a video-monitoring system to arrive at an integrated monitoring system of embedded electric grid/station. In the measurement of electric grid parameters, we check the voltage, current, harmonics, etc. in the target areas. The video section monitors the key instruments and environment and transfers these results to a web interface in real time. Therefore, no matter where the monitoring personnel are, they can observe the electric grid parameters and inspect both equipment and environment in real time, as long as they are connected to the Internet. Our design applies to electric stations at all levels, enterprises with requirements of a reliable network, as well as applications requiring remote monitoring.
