Abstract:
The evaluation of the electrical energy flows is at the base of all operations connected to the commercial transactions in energy market. The assessment of "metrological quality" of the power/energy measuring apparatuses is well establishes in ideal sinusoidal conditions. But, with increasing diffusion of power electronics the typical characteristics of power network are far from sinusoidal one. In this paper a new methodology for quality assurance of energy meters in non sinusoidal operating conditions is reported. The description of methodology and some experimental results obtained are discussed in detail.
