A new approach to the design of digital algorithm for voltage phasor and local system frequency estimation is presented. The estimation problem is considered as an unconstrained optimization problem. The algorithm is derived using Newton's iterative method, very commonly used in Load-Flow studies. The algorithm showed a very high level of robustness as well as high measurement accuracy over a wide range of frequency changes. The algorithm convergence of order two provided fast response and adaptability. To demonstrate the performance of the algorithm developed, computer simulated, experimentally obtained and reallife data records are processed. The presented work is a part of a project concerning the application of microprocessors in frequency relaying.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
