Abstract
In recent years, the electrical substations are experiencing a rapid transition towards a fully digital measurement infrastructure, in terms of data acquisition, storage and processing. The IEC Std 61850-9-2 defines the data format, also known as Sampled Value (SV), to be employed by instrument transformers, merging units, and controller devices. In this scenario, it is reasonable to expect that also Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) will be directly connected with digital instrument transformers and will be required to process directly the SV data stream. In this paper, we present the design and development of a stand-alone PMU based on digital inputs. The prototype has been characterized in terms of estimation accuracy and enriched with a novel functionality that allows for monitoring the time quality of the SV data stream. In this way, the device truly becomes an Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) that guarantees higher interoperability as well as a more robust management of sporadic synchronization issues. The proposed results confirm the potential of SV-based PMUs, and highlight the possibility of further enhancement for synchrophasor measurements based on digital inputs only.
