Abstract

AbstractPower conditioning systems like active filters, universal power flow controllers, static compensators, and dynamic voltage restorers, among other ones, need accurate synchronization circuits capable of dealing with very different grid voltage perturbations. The DFT algorithm is one of best performers in phasor estimation, but is not perfect. The paper accurately describes the DFT errors under frequency variation, decaying DC components and harmonics, and analyzes the instantaneous phasor estimation, with absolute and recursive algorithms. Strong grid voltage perturbations, occurring in weak grids, especially in the grid connection of renewable energies, demand for a DFT‐based robust estimation method. The proposed method, as demonstrated by extensive simulations, is capable of handling general grid voltage perturbations, imposing a compromise between dynamic response and accuracy. Also, its advantage over two other frequently used methods is demonstrated by comparative results. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
