Summary:The measurement of one of the power quality problems which may arise in wind turbine generators, flicker, is presented. This paper focuses on the design of a complete fully digital flickermeter relying on an in-house developed measurement system, which featured a data acquisition system, using a C6711 DSP based Starter Kit (DSK) and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). To study flicker produced during wind turbines continuous operation, a special highlighting is given to simulate the voltage fluctuations on a fictitious grid.
