RT journal article T1 Online System for Power Quality Operational Data Management in Frequency Monitoring Using Python and Grafana A1 Sierra Fernández, José María A1 Florencias Oliveros, Olivia A1 Espinosa Gavira, Manuel Jesús A1 González de la Rosa, Juan José A1 Agüera Pérez, Agustín A1 Palomares Salas, José Carlos A2 Ingeniería en AutomáticaElectrónica, Arquitectura y Redes de Computadores K1 big data K1 data acquisition K1 data visualization K1 data exchange K1 dashboard K1 frequency stability K1 Grafana-based lab K1 power quality K1 GPS reference K1 frequency measurement AB This article proposes a measurement solution designed to monitor the instantaneousfrequency in power systems. It uses a data acquisition module and a GPS receiver for time stampingand traceability. A Python-based module receives data, computes the frequency, and finally transfersthe measurement results to a database. The frequency is calculated with two different methods,which are compared in the article. The stored data is visualized using the Grafana platform, thusdemonstrating its potential for comparing scientific data. The system as a whole constitutes anefficient, low-cost solution as a data acquisition system.
