1 is a block diagram illustrating a system for monitoring the quality of a power system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a system for monitoring the quality of a power system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a power quality measuring apparatus 110, a monitoring server 120, and a database 130.

The power quality measuring apparatus 110 is connected to a power system, acquires a voltage or power waveform at predetermined time intervals, samples the same according to a predetermined method, generates a representative waveform using the same, and transmits the generated waveform to the monitoring server 120. It performs the function.

In addition, although FIG. 1 illustrates that one power quality measuring device 110 is connected to the system, a plurality of power quality measuring devices 110 are connected to each power system to display voltage or power waveforms of each power system. The corresponding waveform may be generated and transmitted to the monitoring server 120, respectively.

Hereinafter, detailed functions of the power quality measuring apparatus 110 will be described with reference to related drawings.

The monitoring server 120 receives a representative waveform from the power quality measuring apparatus 110 in units of preset measurement cycles and registers the representative waveform in the database 130. Subsequently, the monitoring server 120 analyzes the representative waveform according to a predetermined method, analyzes the voltage and power waveform of the corresponding power system, and performs various analysis and evaluation on the power system by performing decomposition of waveforms according to harmonic orders. . Through this, the monitoring server 120 may check the abnormality of the power system.

The database 130 is connected to the monitoring server 120 and stores each representative waveform received from each power quality measuring device 110.

2 is a block diagram schematically showing the internal configuration of a power quality measurement apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating a sampling waveform for a conventional voltage and current waveform, Figure 4 is a present invention Representative waveforms corresponding to voltage and current waveforms according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

2, the power quality measuring apparatus 110 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a pickup unit 210, a sampling unit 220, a waveform generator 230, a storage unit 240, and a transmitter 250. It is configured to include).

The pickup unit 210 acquires the voltage and current waveforms of the power system to which the power quality measuring device 110 is connected (or coupled) at predetermined time intervals (for example, 1 second, 3 seconds, etc.). do.

Since the method of acquiring the voltage and current waveforms of the power system is obvious to those skilled in the art, a separate description thereof will be omitted.

(n은 7 이상의 자연수) 주기로 픽업부(210)를 통해 취득된 전압 및 전류 파형을 샘플링할 수 있다.The sampling unit 220 samples the voltage and current waveforms acquired through the pickup unit 210 at predetermined periods and converts the waveforms into digital waveforms. Here, the sampling unit 220

(n is a natural number of 7 or more) The voltage and current waveforms acquired through the pickup unit 210 may be sampled.

In the present specification, for convenience of understanding and description, a period in which the sampling unit 220 samples the voltage and current waveforms will be referred to as a sampling period. In general, a sampling period of at least 128 or 256 cycles is required for the decomposition of harmonic components in the frequency domain. Thus, in the present specification, the sampling period is assumed to be 128 or more cycles, but the description will be mainly performed, but may be less than 128 cycles.

The sampling unit 220 stores the voltage and current waveforms sampled according to a designated sampling period in the storage unit 240.

The waveform generator 230 generates a representative waveform by overlapping and adding the sampled voltage and current waveforms in one cycle for a predetermined measurement period.

In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the measurement cycle is the maximum demand period in order to facilitate the understanding and explanation. For example, if the maximum demand period is 15 minutes, the measurement period may be set to 15 minutes. Of course, the measurement period can be set to other periods in addition to the maximum demand period, such as 3 minutes, 10 minutes.

For example, the waveform generator 230 may generate the representative waveform by overlapping and summing the sampled voltage and current waveforms in one cycle during the measurement period, and calculating their average values. In addition, the waveform generator 230 may generate a representative waveform by superimposing / summing voltage and current waveforms having the same sampling period with respect to the voltage and current waveforms sampled during the measurement period.

2 illustrates a waveform sampled by a conventional sampling method. The conventional scheme has a very large amount of data on the sampled voltage and current waveforms, which makes it difficult to transmit it to the remote monitoring server 120.

That is, suppose, for example, that the three-phase voltage and current waveforms are sampled at 256 sampling periods. If 92,160 samples are generated per second and accumulate for 15 minutes (i.e., assume a measurement period of 15 minutes), a total of 82,944,000 sampling data is conventionally formed.

As a result, it was virtually impossible for the power quality measuring apparatus 110 to transmit the sampled voltage and current waveforms accumulated during the measurement period to the remote monitoring server 120, and thus, the power quality measuring apparatus connected to each power system. At 110, a signal processor (for example, an FFT converter) should be mounted for harmonic evaluation and analysis using the sampled voltage and current waveforms, and all function modules for outputting the report should be mounted. There was a problem.

However, in the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 3, for each of the sampled voltage and current waveforms of the power quality measuring device 110, each cycle is superimposed in one cycle to generate a representative waveform. The amount of data has been dramatically reduced.

In general, the voltage and current waveforms in the power system do not change rapidly unless an internal or external event occurs such as a power failure, an instantaneous voltage drop, a lightning strike, or a surge due to the opening or closing of a switch.

With this in mind, in the present embodiment, the power quality measuring apparatus 110 may generate a representative waveform for the voltage and current waveforms sampled during the measurement period and transmit the generated waveform to the remote monitoring server 120.

Accordingly, the monitoring server 120 may evaluate the harmonics by calculating sample data corresponding to the half period of the representative waveform received from the power quality measuring apparatus 110.

The storage unit 240 accumulates and stores voltage and current waveforms sampled through the sampling unit 220 during a measurement period. In addition, the storage unit 240 stores an algorithm required to operate the power quality measuring apparatus 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The transmitter 250 transmits the representative waveform generated by the waveform generator 230 to the remote monitoring server 120.

Accordingly, the monitoring server 120 may receive the representative waveform from the power quality measuring apparatus 110 and register it in the database 130.

In addition, the monitoring server 120 may monitor and evaluate the power quality including the harmonics of the power system by analyzing the representative waveform.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of measuring power quality by a power quality measuring apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Each step performed below is performed by each internal component of the power quality measuring apparatus 110, but will be collectively described as a power quality measuring apparatus for the convenience of understanding and explanation.

In operation 510, the power quality measuring apparatus 110 acquires the voltage and current waveforms of the power system to which the power quality measuring apparatus 110 is connected at predetermined time units.

In operation 515, the power quality measuring apparatus 110 samples the acquired voltage and current waveforms at a predetermined sampling period, and stores them. Since this is the same as described above, overlapping description thereof will be omitted.

In operation 520, the power quality measurement apparatus 110 generates a representative waveform by overlapping and summing the sampled voltage and current waveforms in one cycle during the measurement period. For example, the power quality measurement apparatus 110 may overlap and sum the sampled voltage and current waveforms in one cycle, calculate an average thereof, and generate a representative waveform using the same.

In operation 525, the power quality measuring apparatus 110 transmits the generated representative waveform to the remote monitoring server 120.

6 is a diagram illustrating a result of DFT of each voltage and current waveform and a result of DFT of a representative waveform according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating discrete Fourier transform (DFT) results for each unit voltage and current waveform, and (B) is a diagram illustrating DFT results for a representative waveform.

As shown in FIG. 6, it can be seen that the DFT conversion of the representative waveforms and the unit waveforms (ie, voltage and current waveforms) during the measurement period are substantially the same. That is, when the DFT conversion values of the periods of the unit voltage and current waveforms of FIG. 6A are summed, it can be seen that the DFT conversion value and the error value of the representative waveform are very fine, 0.003.

As such, the two results do not match perfectly because the frequency of the power system is not fixed at 60 Hz, and the fluctuations are minute. As a result, the zero crossing of each cycle is not always constant, resulting in minute errors of the two results, but this is a negligible error in the harmonic evaluation of the power system.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It will be understood that the invention may be varied and varied without departing from the scope of the invention.
