Applying IEEE standard 1159.3 for Power Quality analysis platform implementation

This paper presents the implementation of power quality (PQ) analysis platform that can access different venders' PQ meter data being translated to Power Quality Data Interchange Format (PQDIF) files and view the data through a LabVIEW-based graphical user interface. The implemented platform also can manage the retrieved PQ data in a customized database. Performance tests show that the implemented system can meet the PQ measurement requirements for smart grid applications.
