Abstract

The integration of renewable energy sources (RES) into power distribution grids is crucial for achieving global green energy objectives. However, RES power inverters can adversely impact power quality, increase losses, and lead to power interruptions due to issues such as harmonics, frequency deviation, and grid fault response limitations. To address these challenges, this paper presents an innovative solution combining hardware and software components based on Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) and EDGE processing technologies that provide the ultimate tools for real-time monitoring of the distribution power grid. The proposed solution, designed for research and innovation activities, features a low-cost, high-performance architecture that facilitates real-time monitoring of secondary distribution substations.
