(2023-2026) PRIN 2022, <\/span><\/b><\/span>funded by Italian Ministry <\/span><\/span>of the University<\/span><\/span> and Research, MUR<\/span><\/span>: “<\/span><\/span>Next-generation distributed synchronized measurement systems for smart grids with self-diagnostics capabilities and self-improvement of information quality<\/span><\/strong>“, <\/span><\/span>NextSyMS<\/span><\/strong>. <\/span><\/span>Prot. 2022RYZJT9. Principal Investigator<\/strong>: Carlo Muscas<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span> Research Units: UniCa, University of Bologna, Politecnico di Milano.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The aim is to define an innovative distributed measurement system for efficient implementation of innovative applications in Smart Grids. <\/span><\/span>The driving idea is that the huge amount of measured\/estimated data available on both electrical and non-electrical quantities should be translated into actual information, i.e. accompanied by an indication about their quality, so that proper decisional rules can be adopted. \u00a0An innovative approach is proposed to make the measurement system able to self-detect its weak points and self-compensate their effects, in order to continuously improve its performance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The main objectives of this project are: define a set of realistic signals and their reference values representing the behavior of modern distribution grids; develop a quantum-based reference system for direct calibration of PMUs and D-PMUs (PMU designed for distribution grids) and accurate error modelling with respect to signals of interest; define new information for the output data stream of PMUs and D-PMUs describing the measurement process conditions.
