User friendly smart distributed measurement system for monitoring and assessing the electrical power quality

This paper presents an innovative smart measurement system, as well as investigates the challenges and trends in the development of distributed Power Quality (PQ) smart measurement systems. PQ monitoring is getting importance for the customers even for the more sensitive modern equipment. Up today, the control and supervision of an industrial process has mainly been focused on the electrical protection, and little attention has been paid to the quality of the electrical supplies. Nowadays, measurement and communication systems have advanced to enable the installation of web-based sensors within a PQ assessment scenario. In this perspective, we propose a measurement instrument easy to use, chip, flexible, and with advanced world wide web capability. This paper also shows the first releases of prototypes already realised.
