Platform for Embedded Systems Design in the Smart Grid Framework

  • Chapter
Book cover Frontiers in Computer Education

Abstract

Nowadays, there is a worldwide interest in Distributed Generation (DG). This is due to the need to integrate renewable energy sources into the Distribution System. This paper proposes the development of a platform to the safe and intelligent management of the DG in the grid. It is considered an Embedded System (ES) that performs measurements of Power Quality (PQ) and determines the consumption of electric power in the grid, in addition to implement the functionality of a digital relay providing to system of the typical protection functions. The proposed system requires a platform to integrate, among others, innovative technologies of processing multifunctional, synchronization and communication. NI LabVIEW Real-Time software, which allows the development of the system proposed in a real environment and the NI CompactRIO platform has been selected for this.
