Design of versatile waveform platform for supraharmonic testing and calibration

Abstract

This paper describes the design of a generic waveform platform for the testing and calibration of power quality analyzers in the frequency range of 2 to 150 kHz. In the electrical grids, the waveform platform can be used to measure the emissions in the frequency range of 2 to 150 kHz. The software architecture of the waveform platform is specified here. In addition, the paper explains the hardware design of the waveform platform. It also includes the applications of the waveform platform. The laboratory setup for the calibration of power quality analyzers and the measurement schema for the real grid waveforms are also depicted here.
