Design of a Bidirectional Electrical Energy Measurement System for Applications in Distributed Generation

Abstract

This work focuses on the development of a bidirectional electrical energy measurement system under a distributed generation (DG) scheme. The measurement system consists of an IC ADE9000 for the measurement of high-precision multi-phase electrical energy, circuits and sensors for voltage and current conditioning, an Arduino Due as a control unit and an Ethernet module ENC28j60 for IP connection. The measurement system includes a data management scheme based on a web platform contained in a server where measurement queries can be performed as well as user administration through a database.
