microPMU

The microPMU project delivers an open source Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) for power system analysis based on the STM32F769 Discovery kit and an instrumentation PCB.

Prototype

The PMU code has several possible configurations. These settings can be configured in the main.h file.

1. Set the PMU identification number for the communication with PDC

#define PMUID 0x0001

2. Set the utility nominal frequency (50 or 60Hz)

#define NOMINAL_FREQ 60

3. Set the utility nominal voltage (127 or 220V)

#define NOMINAL_VOLTAGE 127

4. Set if the oversamling will be used or not (0 or 1)

#define OVERSAMPLING 1

5. Defines if the GPS will provide the 30 pulses per second or not (if not defined, GPS will provide 1 pulse per second)

#define PPS_30_HZ

6. Defines if the measure data will be based on peak or RMS values (possible values are RMS_GAIN or PEAK_GAIN)

#define PEAK_OR_RMS RMS_GAIN

7. Set the transport protocol to communicate with the PDC (TCP_PMU or UDP_PMU)

#define TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL TCP_PMU

8. Several gains for the fit curves (depends on the instrumentation board)

For better performance, such gains must be defined through a calibration process
