Abstract
Increasing demand for traceable, accurate measurements of power and power quality (PQ) parameters has resulted in an intensive metrology research effort in this area. This paper describes the objectives and activities of EMPIR project 15RPT04 TracePQM, jointly funded by the European Union and the participating countries. The overall goal of this project is to develop and validate a modular, well documented metrology grade system for the measurement of power and PQ parameters using digital sampling techniques. The first results of the research project, including the description of the system design, the software structure, results of the stability tests on wideband digitizers, and the acquisition of extended waveform records using a digitizing multimeter are presented.

Increasing demand for traceable, accurate measurements of power and power quality (PQ) parameters has resulted in an intensive metrology research effort in this area
Since the ultimate objective of the project is to assist laboratories to efficiently establish a metrology grade PQ measuring set-up that meets their needs, the production of a comprehensive good practice guide, which is the task of work packages (WP) 3, is an important one
Summary
Electrical energy is a traded product that must be quality assured. Contractual obligations of suppliers to customers, grid design, power factor correction and harmonic mitigation all require reliable measurement of power quality parameters. It is essential that different PQ analyzers yield comparable results. With the diversification of electric power generation to include sources with fluctuating output power such as solar and wind, and the proliferation. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
