High-resolution, Acquisition, Waveform, Kontinuous and Synchronous Big-data Instrument (HAWKSBI) device development for improving renewable energy and power grid efficiency

问题和想法。**现有电网监测技术无法提供有效管理和支持可再生能源日益普及所需的准确性和及时性。太阳能发电可能会导致许多不必要的电网影响，包括电压波动和低故障电流，而风力发电可能会导致更广泛的电网振荡和电压问题。此外，下一代供暖、通风、空调系统和电动汽车充电系统引入的电力负荷需求与传统控制系统的管理方式有很大不同。对于传统系统，能源生产商和电网运营商只能在事后采取行动，无法及时响应电网的波动，也无法预测即将发生的逆变器、变压器、开关设备和电缆故障。**Neuville Grid Data的愿景**是在不丢失基础测量数据的情况下实现电力状况的实时监控，更好地**优化可再生能源生产，最大限度地减少中断，延长设备寿命。Neuville提议开发一种高分辨率、采集、波形、连续和同步的大数据仪器（HAWKSBI），以艾萨克·牛顿爵士的实验室助手弗朗西斯·豪克斯比的名字命名。**主要目标包括：*以非常高分辨率（每秒可能60,000次）以低于10纳秒的同步时间标记连续测量和记录电压和电流点波形，*实时向能源生产商和电网运营商传达关键数据，*生成丰富的数据集，使数据科学，人工智能和机器学习的应用能够应对可再生能源电网的挑战。**该项目的主要重点是技术硬件开发**。HAWKSBI设备将利用高分辨率传感器、强大的数字信号处理、大数据和弹性云存储以及物联网等技术，这些技术已经在其他行业中率先应用。这项计划的重点是硬件开发和演示，包括实验室台架测试；组件原型;相关工程设计评审；原型制作和测试；并与现有客户合作进行初步现场测试。虽然核心的模数转换技术已经得到验证，但在电力行业的应用是创新的，需要额外的开发来满足任务的关键。HAWKSBI技术在应用数字行业的技术和经验教训的同时，解决了行业对下一代系统、广域和电能质量监测的可观测性能力的需求。

**The problem and idea.** Existing power grid monitoring technologies are unable to provide the precision and timeliness required to effectively manage and support increased adoption of renewable energy.Solar generation can cause numerous unwanted grid effects including voltage fluctuations and low-fault currents, whilst wind generation can cause oscillation and voltage issues for the broader electricity grid. Additionally, next-generation heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems and electric-vehicle charging, introduce electrical load demands which differ considerably from those that legacy controls were designed to manage.With legacy systems, energy producers and grid operators are resigned to act after the fact, unable to respond to grid fluctuations in time or to predict pending inverter, transformer, switchgear, and cabling failures.**Neuville Grid Data's vision** is to enable the real-time monitoring of electrical conditions without any loss of underlying fundamental measurement data, better **enabling renewable energy production to be optimised, disruptions minimised, and equipment life extended.**Neuville is proposing the **development of a high-resolution, acquisition, waveform, kontinuous and synchronous big-data instrument (HAWKSBI), named in honour of Sir Isaac Newton's lab assistant, Francis Hauksbee).** Key objectives include capabilities to:* continuously measure and record voltage and amperage point-on-waveforms at very high-resolution (perhaps 60,000 times per second) with sub-10 nanosecond synchronised time-stamps,* communicate critical data to energy producers and grid operators in real-time, and* generate rich datasets which enables application of data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to the challenges of a renewable-powered grid.**The project's main focus is technology hardware development**. A HAWKSBI device will utilise technologies such as high-resolution sensors, robust digital signal processing, big data and elastic cloud storage, and Internet of Things which have been pioneered across other industries.The key areas of focus for this project are hardware development and demonstration of the HAWKSBI including lab-bench testing; component prototyping; associated engineering design reviews; prototype production and testing; and initial field testing in partnership with our existing clients.While core analogue-to-digital technology is proven, **application to the electrical power sector is innovative** and requires additional development to meet the criticality of the mission. **HAWKSBI technology addresses industry's 'pull' for next-generation observability capabilities** in system, wide area, and power quality monitoring while applying technologies and lessons from the digital industry.
