Research and development of a virtual instrument for measurement, analysis and monitoring of the power quality

Abstract

This paper is about the design of a power quality monitoring system based on LabVIEW for factory power quality defined in the IEEE Standard 1459-2010 [1] for single-phase, three phase three-wire and three-phase four-wire power systems [1] and [2]. With LabVIEW as development platform, composed by some functional modules such as data acquisition, data processing, data storage, and data report, etc. defined in International standards concerning electrical power quality Standard EN 50160 [3] and [4]. This system has advantages of better analyzed affection and low cost, and can be extended easily.
