Scope of the procurement
Estimated total value: 800 000 EUR 💰
Short description:

Fault/Event recording in response to under, over and rate-of-change of voltage, current, frequency and active power in addition to remote manual and binary input triggers;

Power Quality measurements, including flicker, unbalance and harmonics measurements up to and including the 50th harmonic; and

Data streaming on a continuous basis for Phasor Monitoring Units (PMU) application.

The recorders shall be capable of receiving GPS time-stamped voltage and current inputs derived from either protection or metering class instrument transformer cores and shall monitor the circuit passively. The recorder, in addition to current and voltage measurements, should provide the following:
