Development and characterization of a multi-platform Data Acquisition System for Power Quality metrological certification
نویسنده
چکیده
A Data Acquisition USB Device has been designed, developed, realized and characterized to be used in Power Quality monitoring activities. The system simultaneously manage 8 data acquisition channels to allow acquisition on tri-phases plus neutral lines working at 499 samples per 50 Hz period. It can get external certified time and voltage references to warranty certified measurements. The system is directly powered by USB interface and use a multiplatform FTDI Virtual ComPort drivers to yield a simpleto-use and scalable device able to send and receive data over High Speed RS232 virtual interfaces, without requiring any advanced programming skill. The virtual serial communication makes data acquisition software portable over many platforms, regardless development environment and programming language. The proposed device has been tested with custom software written in C# and VB6, than in LabView and MatLab environment, moreover it has been characterized applying the most common ADC performing test to verify its behaviour.

Voltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems
This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
