Review of Discrete Fourier Transform During Dynamic Phasor Estimation and the Design of Synchrophasor Units
Main Article Content
Abstract
In a large and complex interconnected power system, the measurement of synchronized bus voltage and line current plays a vital role in the monitoring and precise control of various sophisticated electrical equipment for secure and reliable operation. Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are incorporated into a wide area of the power system to extract the different signals of synchronized phasors. In this paper, the capacity of the PMU phasor estimation algorithm is explored based on discrete Fourier transform (DFT) under different sampling frequency rates during various dynamic scenarios in accordance with the IEEE C37.118.1a-2014 standard. Furthermore, the performance of the DFT algorithm varies according to the phase angle and dynamic parameters such as frequency, frequency ramp rates, modulation frequency, harmonic levels, step change, decaying dc, and noise levels. The simulation results reveal that accuracy of the phasor estimation algorithm based on DFT can be achieved at high sampling frequency rates. Furthermore, the results of DFT-based phasor estimation are compared with Shank’s estimation method (SEM) and the least-squares estimation method (LEM). The presented method is best suited to PMU algorithms development based on DFT for better visualization of the smart electric grid.
