In order to avoid these challenges, low-voltage DC grids may represent a promising solution for small grid portions with controlled power flows. To fill the standardization gaps, the paper discusses the suitable definition of DC power in distorted conditions and evaluates the possible measurement errors due to real-world disturbances.","PeriodicalId":286515,"journal":{"name":"2023 4th International Conference on Smart Grid Metrology (SMAGRIMET)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115793905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Development of communication technologies and smart load monitoring applications has simplified the access to this information. This paper investigates and describes the design of a developed data acquisition and monitoring system for demand response implementation in the residential sector. Our smart monitoring system integrates a number of residential electric appliances to study their daily energy consumption profiles and, in the future, forecasts their potential demand response capacity. We describe the design of a LabView application for acquiring, logging, processing and visualizing data derived from the Demand Response Laboratory (DR Lab) at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (UNIZG-FER).

The level of TEVR strongly depends on design and length of the earthing leads. Therefore, overvoltage measurements were performed for different earthing leads configurations in 110 kV GIS and results are presented in this paper.

The main goal for establishing vehicular clouds is utilization of vast amounts of unused hardware resources available at vehicles for enabling and supporting smart transportation infrastructure. Vehicular clouds can enable additional distributed computing and storage resources to various groups of users, as well as introduce new use cases and applications.

One of the main components of a power transformer is its core, which is made of thin stacked sheets of steel. Due to the complexity of the manufacturing process and the dimensions of sheets and the overall core, the whole stacking process needs to be precise and have relatively low tolerances. All of this dictates a relatively big number of control parameters and measurements during the core manufacturing. Therefore, it is of importance to devise the methodology and smart devices that can speed up the measurements and help in increasing the measurement quality and worker safety. This paper presents such an approach, by showing custom-built devices for that purpose, together with the accompanying software.","PeriodicalId":286515,"journal":{"name":"2023 4th International Conference on Smart Grid Metrology (SMAGRIMET)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125276928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
