Abstract

Parameter estimation in particular the frequency estimation of sinusoidal signals contaminated with noise is of great importance due to its broad applications in many fields such as communications, instrumentation, medicine and radar. In today’s power systems, frequency deviations in the nominal system frequency would cause spurious or so-called ghost frequency components in the spectrum. Those types of frequency components complicate the real-time tracking of harmonics and interharmonics present in the system. In this study, in order to minimize the side effects of system frequency deviations the performances of various frequency estimators are evaluated against varying fundamental frequency and noise conditions and the optimum estimator is chosen.
