2026 - SKYNEXT Tech.

This is a quick update on our flagship product development, PMU-001. Since October 2024, we put great effort in developing it. The PMU-001 USB device is intended for electricians that need a portable and reasonably affordable field device which provides the following features :

Robust GPS based synchrophasor measurement, IEEE Std C37.118-2005 compliant with network bindings.
6 channel analysis (3 voltage channels, 3 current channels, 2 auxiliary channels)
4 quadrant power analysis
Positive, negative and zero sequence vector decomposition
logging and real-time (within standard delay requirement) equispaced sampling of frequency deviation from nominal mains
Harmonics analysis and THD display and logging
waveform logging
USB 2.0 high speed device, hardware sampling rate 48 ksps.
Lightweight NCURSES interface allowing use across low speed / character based tty
Integrated class 0.1 voltage measurement transformers with secondary DAC TVS protection / clamping on top of internal DAC protection.
1000V AC transformer winding voltage tolerance.
Line to Line or Line to Neutral voltage measurements (120V up to 240V AC / 208V AC to 400V AC nominal voltage +15% tolerance)

It leverages the power of a personal computer for high level analysis, reducing hardware costs, the software payload is C++ based and works on Linux distributions. Microsoft Windows porting is planned in the future.

A fully functional hardware and software prototype is planned for Q3 2026.

Most of the work is now dedicated on GPS disciplining and TCXO clocking, as well as cross channel analysis for four quadrant measurement, and delay vs filtering efficiency real time tuning. IEEE Std C37.118-2005 compliance will require rigorous conformity testing and calibration. At that time, a crowdfunding effort with pre-order priority will be put into effect, allowing trade electricians to have priority access to the device in the beta phase.
