Abstract

At present, most sensor calibration methods are off-line calibration, which not only makes them time-consuming and laborious, but also causes considerable economic losses. Therefore, in this study, an online calibration method of current sensors is proposed to address the abovementioned issues. The principle and framework of online calibration are introduced. One of the calibration indexes is angular difference. In order to accurately verify it, data acquisition must be precisely synchronized. Therefore, a precise synchronous acquisition system based on GPS timing is proposed. The influence of ionosphere on the accuracy of GPS signal is analyzed and a new method for measuring the inherent delay of GPS receiver is proposed. The synchronous acquisition performance of the system is verified by inter-channel synchronization experiment, and the results show that the synchronization of the system is accurate. Lastly, we apply our online calibration method to the current sensor; the experimental results show that the angular difference and ratio difference meet the requirements of the national standard and the accuracy of the online calibration system can be achieved to 0.2 class, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed online calibration method.
