Smart Grid
As the population grows and power infrastructure ages, grids and microgrids require dynamic monitoring and control systems that provide processing flexibility to scale distribution, optimize grid assets, and analyze grid performance.
Based on CompactRIO hardware and LabVIEW, a smart mini grid system can ensure a higher degree of flexibility, reliability, efficiency, and safety for the complete power system.
NI offers technology that lets you push decision making and intelligence closer to the grid, embedded within flexible instrumentation to achieve faster response times, better bandwidth utilization, and functionality field upgrades.
PMUs built on NI technology have four key features that can help utilities, power systems engineers, and grid researchers better understand the health of the grid.
