Abstract: In order to improve the sensing and fault analysis ability of the power grid, a novel panoramic recording platform is developed in this paper. The data requirement for fault analysis is proposed according to the reformation of fault forms under the rapid development of UHV AC and DC power grid. The requirements for panoramic recording platform architecture and communication are also presented. Simulation results show the developed novel recording platform have good data recording performance and can guarantee the complete collection of fault data, which could realize the whole grid fault data integration.
