Smart Measuring Unit
SMU-P2 is a device that combines all types of measurement data within a digital transformer substation according to the relevant standards.
The concept of a fully digital substation means an efficient and simple exchange of measurement data through the process communication network, efficient use and storage of measurement data, and an increase in the energy efficiency of the transformer substation. Construction costs can be significantly reduced because signaling and measurement cables are not necessary.

Projects
Generator protection by directly measuring the load angle
Name of the project:
Generator protection by directly measuring the load angle
Project description:
The goal of the project is to realize the out-of-step generator protection function by directly measuring the load angle. The purpose of the generator out-of-step protection function lowers the generator strain and the possibility of generator damage due to malfunctions mainly because the generator spends less time in highly unfavorable working regimes. The new concept of generator protection makes the generator fall off the grid sooner, thus directly enhancing the generator’s lifetime. The direct measurement of the generator load angle, in addition to being an input for generator out-of-step protection function, can be used to increase the generators’ scope of work (expansion of the generators’ capability curve), which contributes to the generator’s owner through more flexible production planning. The expansion of the generators’ capability curve based on the direct measurements of the generator load angle will also be looked into within the project.
Duration of the project: November 30th 2018 – November 29th, 2019
The project is co-financed by the Croatian Agency for Small Businesses, Innovations and Investments (HAMAG-BICRO) from the Proof of Concept Program.
Interreg MED PELAGOS
Name of the project:
Promoting innovative cLusters and nEtworks for renewable energy synergies in Mediterranean cOasts and iSlands – PELAGOS
Project description:
The purpose of the PELAGOS project is to create and promote the national blue energy platforms in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Croatia, Greece and Cyprus, and subsequently the establishment and operation of the transnational Mediterranean cluster for the purpose of jointly finding opportunities and addressing the challenges of blue energy. Through the co-operation scheme, the synergy effect of promoting research, innovative ideas and competitive technologies related to blue energy in the coastal and island areas of the Mediterranean is to be achieved.
Blue energy platform participants are representatives of country administration offices (ministries, regional development agencies), research institutions, small and medium entrepreneurs, large companies, professional associations, non-governmental organizations and other participants who are specialized in activities related to blue energy and have an active role in the mentioned issues. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb (UNIZAG FSB) is the leader of the PELAGOS project platform for Croatia.
More details about the PELAGOS project can be found here.
Duration of the project: November 1st 2016 – July 30th 2019
The project is co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
Development of Smart Metering Unit (SMU)
Name of the project:
