With today's new emerging renewable energy sources, the need of analyzing the traditional power grid has increased. There are few problems gathering this information, due to political and economical motives. To estimate the power flow of the grid, a magnetic field sensor was offered. In the project we will create a coupled sensing coil, which then will be used with the high gain amplifying sensing board to measure the parameters of high voltage lines. The main goal is to create and place these sensors in different locations across the lines to be able to derive the grid's phase and amplitude for further power flow analyzing.
In order to get accurate information about the grid, one should know the exact parameters of the power lines, such as distance and current amplitude. Good correlation between the theory and the field tests was found, which confirms the trustworthiness of the sensor for future uses and analyzing the power flow of the grid.
