Abstract
Currently, customers of energy companies use devices to generate electricity (solar panels, windmills, etc.) and return energy to the grid to save costs or generate income. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the problem of creating an automated system for diagnosing the quality of electricity for consumers who use renewable sources of electricity. The purpose of this study was to improve the efficiency of management in intelligent SMART Grid power systems. To fulfil the said purpose, it was proposed to use an automated system for monitoring synchro signals of PMU microprocessor equipment and software tools for digital processing and statistical analysis of the results of synchronised vector measurements of dynamic characteristics of power grids. Software tools for digital processing and statistical analysis of the obtained vector measurement data were developed. Linear regression, Random Forest Regression, and Ridge regression methods were employed to analyse and predict electricity quality indicators. The results of a comparative analysis of the obtained results of the predictive model were presented. To conduct experimental studies, a laboratory sample of a quality control device for generating synchro signals was developed and manufactured, which directly affects the reliability of digital data from distributed synchronised vector measurements in transient modes (in real time). The multichannel nature of the device increases the performance and reliability of the automated monitoring system. The paper presents the results of experimental studies of the device as a part of the developed laboratory stand, which is connected to the current local IP network of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. The practical significance of the conducted experimental studies lies in the establishment of the technical possibility of simultaneous monitoring of time synchronisation signals generated by two GPS receivers. In this case, it is obvious to increase the performance of the developed and manufactured device for monitoring the quality of clock signal generation, compared to a single-channel one. This material can be useful for engineers who design electrical systems connected to renewable energy sources.
