Project objective. Theoretical generalization of smart digital measurements in electric circuits involving unremovable discretion of a process of continuous quantity digital measurements and innovative features to achieve high-accuracy results in terms of their intellectualization.� Engineering of innovative microprocessor-based units of contact-free (over cable shield) energy and alternating-current power measurements.

Project background. Both for consumers and energy suppliers energy monitoring is one of the key methods to improve their efficiency. Advanced approach to integrate systems of energy monitoring is based on the use of smart instrumentation and energy control. Smart devices belong to a new tendency of automated monitoring system development. Today they experience intensive upgrading even though they have not adequate theoretical justification. Despite a great number of engineering solutions in the field of electric power smart measurements there is no theoretical justification of physical nature and mathematical content of errors specified by application of microprocessor technology and measurement process discreteness. To all practical purposes, methods of contact-free (over cable shield) energy and alternating-current power measurements are of great interest to perform detailed energy monitoring. A necessity for such a strategy of smart measurements theoretical justification is governed by the problems of automatic calibration and correction the outcomes of contact-free measurements which results are represented by fuzzy sets of complex numbers.
