Abstract

This paper presents the metrological evaluation of a proposed virtual power quality (PQ) disturbance generator. It explains in detail the calibration and measurement uncertainty estimation procedures for the RMS voltage and frequency of the generator, presents the results, and discusses their implications. The results indicate that the measurement uncertainty of the generator is satisfactory for all reference points, making it suitable for generation of PQ signals for research purposes, particularly in the development, testing, and improvement of PQ event classifiers. Additionally, the paper introduces a virtual power quality disturbance classifier for real-time classification of PQ events and verifies its accuracy through testing using the proposed PQ disturbance generator.
