Instrumentation and Measurement of a Power Distribution System Laboratory for Meter Placement and Network Reconfiguration Studies

摘要

At Drexel University, instrumentation and measurement of the Reconfigurable Distribution Automation and Control Laboratory include hardware and software instruments which together form an automated measurement and control system. This system contains special features that were included to enable meter placement and network reconfiguration studies. This paper presents an outline of the measurement and control system for the general laboratory and then focuses on the capabilities purposely added for the meter placement and network reconfiguration studies.
