Abstract
Abstract Accurate harmonic estimation is essential for effective power quality assessment, designing appropriate harmonic filters, and ensuring the reliable operation of electrical equipment. This article proposes a novel hybrid harmonic estimation technique combining recursive least square (RLS) and arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) for accurate estimation of harmonics, inter-harmonics and sub-harmonics. AOA is a new meta-heuristic method based on distribution behaviour of main arithmetic operators such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. RLS is used for estimation of amplitude of harmonics, whereas phase is estimated by AOA. The performance of AOA–RLS is investigated in detail for estimation of power system signals using two set of test signals buried with noise. The proposed AOA–RLS is proved to be efficient for estimating both phase and amplitude parameters under different signal to noise ratio (SNR) conditions with an estimation of error of E−3. The efficacy of AOA–RLS technique is demonstrated by comparing with competitive existing techniques. The performance of AOA–RLS also verified in experimental studies.
