Abstract

This paper describes a cost-effective and robust method of transporting synchrophasor information (voltage, current and phase angle) from many positions on a distribution network to a central point. The method stops short of digitising the scaled outputs of voltage and current transducers, instead using these outputs to drive directly a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The VCO generates an output frequency proportional to the input voltage. The generated waveform is a series of repeating chirps with a maximum frequency related to the peak value of the voltage or current being monitored. This waveform is immediately coupled to the power line, propagates through the network, and received at a central point. The received signal is filtered into the various sub-channels and Hilbert transformed to transform back to the original power frequency waveform. Extending the method to include numerous local measurement points and a parallel stream of signal processing channels at the receiver enables an inexpensive synchrophasor solution for distribution networks.
