Multiple-Resonator-Based Power System Taylor-Fourier Harmonic Analysis

Abstract

In this paper, a new approach to the harmonic estimation based on the linear transformation named Taylor-Fourier transform has been proposed. A multiple-resonator-based observer structure has been used. The output taps of the multiple resonators may fix not only the complex harmonic values but also, according to the actual resonator multiplicity, their first, second, third, fourth, and so on, derivatives at the corresponding frequency. The algorithm is recursive, which allows its implementation in embedded environment with limited memory. The estimation technique is suitable for application in a wide range of frequency changes, transient conditions, and interharmonics presence, with benefits in a reduced complexity and computational effort. To demonstrate the performance of the developed algorithm, computer simulated data records are processed.
