Automated Monitoring of Time Synchronisation Devices and Digital Processing of Vector Measurements of Dynamic Characteristics of Smart Grid Power Systems

Abstract

Currently, customers of energy companies use devices to generate electricity (solar panels, windmills, etc.) and return energy to the grid to save costs or generate income. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the problem of creating an automated system for diagnosing the quality of electricity for consumers who use renewable sources of electricity. The purpose of this study was to improve the efficiency of management in intelligent SMART Grid power systems. To fulfil the said purpose, it was proposed to use an automated system for monitoring synchro signals of PMU microprocessor equipment and software tools for digital processing and statistical analysis of the results of synchronised vector measurements of dynamic characteristics of power grids. Software tools for digital processing and statistical analysis of the obtained vector measurement data were developed. Linear regression, Random Forest Regression, and Ridge regression methods were employed to analyse and predict electricity quality indicators. The results of a comparative analysis of the obtained results of the predictive model were presented. To conduct experimental studies, a laboratory sample of a quality control device for generating synchro signals was developed and manufactured, which directly affects the reliability of digital data from distributed synchronised vector measurements in transient modes (in real time). The multichannel nature of the device increases the performance and reliability of the automated monitoring system. The paper presents the results of experimental studies of the device as a part of the developed laboratory stand, which is connected to the current local IP network of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. The practical significance of the conducted experimental studies lies in the establishment of the technical possibility of simultaneous monitoring of time synchronisation signals generated by two GPS receivers. In this case, it is obvious to increase the performance of the developed and manufactured device for monitoring the quality of clock signal generation, compared to a single-channel one. This material can be useful for engineers who design electrical systems connected to renewable energy sources.

Methods of Effective Value-oriented Management of Construction Projects: A new Approach

“…Agile value management involves iterative planning, execution, and feedback to ensure that the project meets the client's needs. Solid management strategies in construction management add value that can be measured in terms of reduced costs, time, lower risk, and higher quality (Koval et al, 2022). Value engineering is a methodology that involves developing alternative solutions for delivering necessary building functions.…”

“…Moreover, it ensures a balanced distribution of electricity to consumers at any time of day with a high degree of reliability. Currently, power grid networks are being developed to support the transmission of high-voltage alternating current, which increases the efficiency of the system and provides high quantitative loads (Koval et al, 2022;Yasinska, 2021). Moreover, a constant high-voltage electricity system is designed to decrease losses during transmission and lower the costs of cable work.…”
