Project Summary
TEİAŞ Electricity Power Quality and Grid Monitoring System Device (TEKİS-C) (2022- 2026)
Project Summary
Today, power quality has become a critical parameter to be monitored both due to the increase in renewable and semiconductor-based sources in electricity generation and the widespread use of power electronic loads in consumption.
Within the scope of this project carried out with Turkish Electricity Transmission Corporation (TEIAS), it is planned to install power quality analyzer devices on all 400 kV, 154 kV and 36 kV feeders and outlets across the country. This will make it possible to monitor, analyze and report the electricity transmission system in a holistic manner.
The devices developed within the scope of the project meet an important need of transmission system operators with their compliance with international power quality standards (IEC 61000-4-30), their modular structure, their ability to be configured according to the measurement point requirements and their production with domestic engineering resources.
As a result of the coordinated efforts of the Power Electronics Research Group and the Energy Monitoring and Forecasting Research Group, the prototype of the device was developed and a certificate of conformity with the IEC 61000-4-30 standard was obtained. Four demonstration devices installed at the Sincan Transformer Center have been successfully transmitting data to the TEİAŞ Electricity Power Quality and Grid Monitoring System since May 2024.
The production process of these modular devices, which will be placed at approximately 21,000 measurement points, is ongoing and is planned to be completed in the last quarter of 2026.
Technical Details
The modular power quality analyzers are capable of simultaneous sampling at a rate of 25,600 samples/second for each channel. These samplings can be synchronized to the GPS clock, enabling synchronized measurement data from all measurement points across Turkey. With 128 GB of internal memory, the devices can store data securely in case of a communication interruption; when the connection is restored, these data are transferred encrypted to TEİAŞ servers. Thanks to its modular structure, a single device can analyze up to nine measurement points.
Project Output
TEKIS-C Technology
The modular power quality analyzer device named TUGAN, developed in accordance with the project technical specifications and international standards, has successfully completed the certification process. For demo purposes, four TUGANs were manufactured and successfully commissioned at 26 measurement points.
For the remaining duration of the project, 4,132 TUGANs are planned to be produced, which will be deployed at a total of 20,660 measurement points.
