Amplifier Interface Design for Real-Time Simulation of Phasor Measurement Unit

使用相量测量单元（PMU），也称为同步相量，用于监测电力系统的状态，稳定性和健康，在世界各地，特别是在北美，正在不断增长。例如，北美同步效应倡议（NASPI）的创建引起了全世界研究人员和公用事业机构的注意，并有助于提高该领域的研究质量。电气和电子工程师协会标准协会（IEEE-SA）已经发布了pmu的性能要求和获得认证所需的测试设备的标准。众所周知，这些测试以及对测试设备的要求非常严格。pmu需要非常精确，以确保电网状况的最佳可视化，并确保未来先进控制的可靠性。加拿大Hydro-Quebec研究所（IREQ）、Vizimax和opal - rt技术公司之间的协同作用导致了同步相位领域的有趣发展。OPAL-RT和direq于2012年签署了hypersim共享商业化和开发的战略合作协议。Vizimax和IREQ之间也达成了一项协议，将IREQ研究得出的估计算法整合在一起。Vizimax对这些算法进行了改进，使其具有准确的实时估计和符合标准的能力，并使所得到的PMU商业化。在2015年和2016年，OPAL-RT与VIZIMAX合作，通过在其实时仿真平台HYPERSIM上开发所需的测试平台，帮助他们为官方ieee认证做准备。vizimax PMU现在是世界上第二个通过认证计划的PMU。对于OPAL-RT来说，这包括开发集成测试平台的第一阶段，还有许多其他功能需要开发，以确保该平台可以用于官方认证。

The use of phasor measurement unit (PMU), also known as synchrophasors, for monitoring of electrical powersystem states, stability and health, experiences an increasing growth throughout the world and especially inNorth America. The creation of the North American Synchrophasor Initiative (NASPI), for instance, has drawnthe attention of researchers and utilities worldwide and has helped in increasing the quality of research in thatarea. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association (IEEE-SA) has issuedstandards on the performance requirements of PMUs and the test equipment required to achieve certification.These tests as well as the requirements for the test equipment are known to be very stringent. PMUs need to bevery accurate to ensure the best possible visualization of the grid condition and ensure reliability of the futureadvanced controls.A synergy between Canadian companies, namely Hydro-Quebec's Research institute (IREQ), Vizimax andOPAL-RT Technologies, have led to interesting developments in the area of synchrophasors. OPAL-RT andIREQ signed a strategic collaboration agreement for the shared commercialization and development ofHYPERSIM in 2012. There has also been an agreement between Vizimax and IREQ for the integration ofestimation algorithms resulting from research at IREQ. The algorithms have been enhanced by Vizimax foraccurate real-time estimation and standard compliance and the resulting PMU is commercialized by Vizimax.In 2015 and 2016, OPAL-RT has collaborated with VIZIMAX in order to help them prepare for the officialIEEE certification, by developing the required test rig on their real-time simulation platform HYPERSIM. TheVizimax PMU is now the second one worldwide which has passed the certification program. To OPAL-RT,this consisted in Phase 1 for the development of an integrated test platform and there are multiple other featuresto develop to make sure the platform can be used for official certification.
