Power Quality Analyzer implemented with Matlab and Data Acquisition Toolbox

Abstract

In this work was designed an equipment capable of monitoring electric grids and measure mayor perturbations that affect the grid. The prototype has it foundations on a Via EpiaMS embedded system, a data acquisition card, measurement probes (Voltage and Current), and software developed using MatLab’s Data Acquisition Toolbox. The GUI provides a user friendly environment for visualization and management of the equipment. By other side the system allows to provide a briefing to the user where the times of the perturbations affecting the electrical grid are shown.
