Measurement and Analysis of Power Quality Disturbances Using LabView

Abstract

Maintaining and improving standards of living as well as development of industries require a constant supply of energy. This motivates creation of new kinds of measurement systems allowing evaluation of problems related to quality of electricity. One of the most important issues that need to be addressed is the electric power quality. This paper describes an implementation method of a virtual instrument, with user-friendly GUI, for generation of disturbances which affect power quality, in Lab View environment, using as hardware component a data acquisition board, for the research of these various disturbances.
