At present, power system interconnection and market competition has brought new challenges to the safety and stability of power system operation. In the event a large-scale and long-duration fault occurs in the interconnected system, the power fault recording and monitoring system(PFRMS) should be able to meet the requirements of fault analysis. This paper describes a program of the novel-type PFRMS. By using a reliable embedded-hardware and software platform, the system's reliability and anti-jamming capabilities are improved in an all-round way: the synchronous sampling technology with GPS-embedded clock setting provides a basic platform for the wide area and synchronous measurement system and ensures large-scale fault analysis; the automatic frequency tracking and synchronization phasor measurement technology can effectively guarantee the accuracy of data acquisition and processing in a wide range; the high accuracy location technology can commendably adapt to the ranging error due to the variation of line parameters. The system realizes consecutive recording over a long period of time and uniform analysis of the steady, dynamic and transient data, providing reliable data sources for analysis of the ultra-long, large-scale and developing fault.
