Summary:An active and reactive volt-ampere-hour meter that consists of
12-b analog-to-digital converters and a digital signal processor has
been developed. The meter has digital offset canceling filters and
digital 90°-phaser-difference filters. The canceling filters cancel
offset in the sample-and-hold circuits and in the analog-to-digital
converters. Using the phase-difference filters, the meter is able to
measure reactive volt-ampere-hour value, not only for the fundamental
frequency but also for several orders of harmonics. The voltage and
current noise is canceled by the time-domain integrals. Using a digital
signal processor, it is possible to realize a smaller size and lower
power consumption than for a conventional volt-ampere-hour meter. Highly
accurate results were obtained by computer simulation and for a
breadboard mockup construction
