Abstract: At present, most of the power quality monitoring devices for IEC 61850 standard are on-line based and without portable monitoring functions, therefore unable to support third-party power quality monitoring. They are high in cost and lack of functional expandability. A portable power quality monitoring device for intelligent substation based on virtual instrument-LabVIEW is designed. Based on LabVIEW design, the power quality monitoring device connects to the process layer of the switches to capture SV messages, and uses high-performance PC hardware platform for data processing. The SV message collecting and parsing module conducts SV packet capture and analysis. The data calculation and display module calculates and displays power quality indicators. The data analysis module performs the waveform and trend analysis for various steady-state indicators, and wavelet analysis for transient power quality problems. The PQDIF file can be generated in accordance with IEEE standard format. A comparison of data from the devise and the data from the power quality monitoring system in the field operation demonstrates that the device has high monitoring precision and can be applied to intelligent substation for power quality monitoring.
