In recent years, the Taiwanese government actively promoted industrial upgrading as a result the technology-oriented industries are flourishing. However, poor power quality will increase the power consumption and reduce the life time of the equipment. Hence, the power quality problems gradually arouse public attention. In this thesis, an SOPC-based power quality analyzer (PQA) is designed. The main objectives of the proposed system are detecting transient voltage variations as well as analyzing the power harmonic interference. The transient voltage variation detection calculates the RMS value within a moving window length of half cycle. The harmonic analysis is performed with the application of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) according to the requirements of IEC Std. 61000-4-7. The experimental results show that the proposed PQA is capable of detecting and capturing the power quality events.
