8.2.1.1 Design Requirements

In modern power grids, accurately measuring the electrical parameters of the various areas of the power grid is extremely critical. This measurement helps determine the operating status and running quality of the grid. Such accurate measurements also help diagnose potential problems with the power network so that these problems can be resolved quickly without having any significant service disruption. The key electrical parameters include amplitude, frequency, and phase, which are important for calculating the power factor, power quality, and other parameters of the power system.

The phase angle of the electrical signal on the power network buses is a special interest to power system engineers. The primary objective for this design is to accurately measure the phase and phase difference between the analog input signals in a multichannel data acquisition system. When multiple input channels are sampled in a sequential manner as in a multiplexed ADC, an additional phase delay is introduced between the channels. Thus, the phase measurements are not accurate. However, this additional phase delay is constant and can be compensated in application software.

The key design requirements are given below:

  • Single-ended sinusoidal input signal with a ±10-V amplitude and typical frequency (fIN = 50 Hz).
  • Design an 8-channel multiplexed data acquisition system using a 16-bit SAR ADC.
  • Design a software algorithm to compensate for the additional phase difference between the channels.
