The project is the development of a new type of smartgrid distribution automation sensor platform which uses high speed waveform analysis and high accuracy time stamping to provide electricity Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) with detailed high fidelity information about the operation of their distribution network.

The platform will be designed in such a way that it provides a flexible infrastructure to support multiple ‘apps’ in a similar fashion to a modern smartphone. This specific project includes the development of two such apps – a micro-PMU (phasor measurement unit) and Non Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) of electric vehicles (EV).
