Abstract

The accurate measurement of harmonics level is essential for designing harmonic filters,monitoring the stress to which the power system devices are subjected due to harmonics and specifying digital filtering techniques for phasor measurements for relaying. This project presents an integrated approach to design an optimal estimator of harmonic components of a power network in the presence of frequency variations. This has led to the study of Kalman,
Extended Kalman and Unscented Kalman filter characteristics and a subsequent implementation of the study to design the optimal filter. We have employed the Extended Kalman filter and Unscented Kalman filter algorithms to estimate the power system voltage magnitude in the presence of random noise and distortions again taking into account the measurement noise. Kalman filter being an optimal estimator track the signal corrupted with noise and bearing harmonic distortion quite accurately. Adaptive tracking of harmonic components of a power system can easily be done using these algorithm. The proposed approaches are tested for only
static signals. For a test signal both EKF and UKF algorithms are used and the results are compared.
