Digital voltage and current sensors for an intelligent grid

该项目是不列颠哥伦比亚省政府能源和矿业部、不列颠哥伦比亚省理工学院(BCIT)和温哥华NuGrid Power Corp(NuGrid)的合作成果，旨在开发具有直接数字输出的光学中压(&gt；1000V和&lt；100kv)电流和电压传感器，以提供电网测量的主动测量和实时通信。今天，配电网是相当被动的控制，在馈线上没有任何实时测量。使用模拟互感器和独立通信系统的混合系统具有巨大的成本、安全性和安装挑战，这使得它们不适用于变电站外电网的广泛仪表。光学传感器保证了更高的安全性、紧凑性和与传感器电子设备的集成通信，使其成为测量变电站外部(和内部)电网的理想选择。NuGrid Power Corp(NuGrid)专注于为配电网(中压1千伏至100千伏范围)开发高性价比的光学电压和电流传感技术。NuGrid的创始人在为输电网(100千伏至800千伏电压水平)开发光学传感器解决方案方面有着良好的记录。

This project is a collaborative effort between Government of British Columbia's Ministry of Energy & Mines, British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) and Vancouver based NuGrid power Corp (NuGrid) for the development of optical medium-voltage (>1000 V and <100kV) current and voltage sensors with direct digital output to provide active measurement and real-time communication of measurements on the electric power grid. Today, the distribution grid is fairly passively controlled without any real-time measurement on the feeder lines. Hybrid systems using analog instrument transformers and separate communication system have significant cost, safety, and installation challenges, making them impractical for wide-spread instrumentation of the grid outside the substations. Optical sensors promise enhanced safety, compactness, and integrated communication with sensor electronics making them ideal for instrumenting the grid outside (and inside) the electric power substations. NuGrid Power Corp (NuGrid) is focused on developing cost-effective optical voltage and current sensing technology for the distribution grid (medium voltage 1 kV to <100 kV range). The founders of NuGrid have a strong track record in developing optical sensor solutions for the transmission grid (100 kV to 800 kV voltage level).
