The accuracy of power system measurements directly affects the safe and stable operation of power grids. This study explores the application prospects of quantum sensing technology in power system measurements. The research first analyzes the limitations of traditional measurement techniques, such as electromagnetic interference sensitivity and measurement accuracy bottlenecks. It then introduces the basic principles of quantum sensing, including concepts like quantum entanglement and superposition states. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, the study assesses the potential advantages of quantum sensors in current, voltage, and magnetic field measurements. Results show that quantum magnetometers offer significant improvements in accuracy and interference resistance for current measurements. The study also discusses the application of quantum optical technology in high-voltage measurements, demonstrating its unique advantages in improving measurement dynamic range. However, quantum sensing technology still faces challenges in practical applications, such as technological maturity and cost. To address these issues, the research proposes a phased implementation strategy and industry-academia collaboration model. Finally, the study envisions future directions combining quantum sensing with artificial intelligence. This research provides a theoretical foundation for innovative upgrades in power system measurement technology.
