Traditional power grid is not resistant to severe weather conditions, especially in remote areas. For some areas with few people, such as islands, it is difficult and expensive to maintain their connectivity to the traditional power grid. Therefore, a self-sustainable microgrid is desired. However, given the limited local energy storage and energy generation, it is extremely challenging for a microgrid to balance the power demand and generation in real-time. To realize the real-time power quality monitoring, the power quality information of microgrid, such as voltage, frequency and phase angle in each home, needs to be collected in real- time. Furthermore, the unreliable sensing results and data collection in a microgrid make the real-time data collection more difficult. To address these challenges, we designed an accurate real-time power quality data sensing hardware to sense the voltage, frequency and phase angle in …
