A Development PMU Device for Living Lab Applications

This paper is focused on the hardware and software development of a compact phasor measurement unit (PMU) device. This project seeks to provide a flexible, compact and development environment of hardware and software platform for advanced monitoring of a living lab Campus network. The development PMU ( $$D_{ev}-PMU$$ ) allows the exploration of the phenomena involved in the living lab Campus networks and can be very useful for the development of control and protection advanced applications in Low-Voltage (LV) power systems. The $$D_{ev}-PMU$$ is built on a general hardware platform and is able to process single as well as three-phase voltages. The performance of the proposed device is evaluated using the PMUCal Fluke set up as the benchmark and under real low-voltage distribution networks. Results confirm the accuracy of the proposed device for providing voltage phasors complying with the Standard limits for class P and M.
