A Novel Ultra High Fidelity Power Quality and Energy Management Software Using NI LabVIEW

Abstract

This paper presents a novel concept of power quality and energy management software using NI LabVIEW. The investigator has developed highly powerful real time power quality and energy management software by using NI LabVIEW, which is capable of doing very complex calculations in fraction of seconds, giving the real time data immediately, hence giving an excellent solution to power quality development. Now a days power quality problems are serious apprehension for electrical power users in view of its negative influence on the electrical equipment and the utility bill. This leads to a greater demand for the power quality measurement tools and especially for the low-cost high fidelity instruments. That is why high fidelity, high precision, high speed real time solutions are required for measuring the power quality parameters. This paper presents an ultimate high fidelity approach based on NI ELVIS Instruments and NI LabVIEW for constant measurement and monitoring of specific power quality parameters.
