AN ARDUINO SHIELD FOR POWER NETWORK VOLTAGE AND CURRENT MEASUREMENT

Daniele Gallo, Carmine Landi, Mario Luiso
Abstract:
The development trends of electrical networks clearly indicate that grids of the future will include more and more smart components. In the new smart grids, smart components fulfill measurement and control tasks: in this scenario, not only the simple energy consumption, but also other parameters have to be measured. Among these parameters certainly there is the quality of energy. Therefore new smart meters have to face the issue to measure energy consumption and energy quality over a wide frequency range. Therefore, in order to make possible the implementation of a smart meter with standard commercial components, in this paper a prototype of voltage and current transducers for the Arduino microcontroller board is presented. Its design, simulation and experimental characterization are shown.
