Integrator-Less Method for Phase Angle Estimation of Fundamental Frequency Positive-Sequence Component Under Adverse Condition

Abstract

This article proposes an integrator-less method for phase angle estimation of unbalanced three-phase voltage systems under adverse conditions. It mainly unites abc-to- dq transform, delayed signal cancellation scheme, and a phase error compensation algorithm. It does not demand online operation of integrators, and thus, associated discretization error and instability issue are not present in the proposed method. It is also an unconditionally stable technique as it uses a real open-loop structure. Moreover, the method is relatively simple and computationally efficient due to circumventing online operations of the complex functions, such as square root, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric. Under alike transient time conditions, the proposed method is more resistant to harmonic disturbances when compared to integrator-based similar competing techniques, such as an enhanced frequency adaptive demodulation approach and a phase error compensation-based open-loop method. The usefulness of the offered method is proved using simulated and experimental results.
