Self-Synchronized Grid Impedance Estimation Unit using Interpolated DFT Technique

Drazen Dujic, Andrea Cervone, Jules Christian Georges Macé

Estimating the impedance of a grid-connected device or of a grid at the point of common coupling is important for evaluating the interaction between them. Impedance measurement involves a perturbation injection device, that perturbs the system, and a measu ...

Step Change Detection for Improved ROCOF Evaluation of Power System Waveforms

Mario Paolone, Asja Derviskadic, Alexandra Cameron Karpilow, Guglielmo Frigo

In the analysis of power grid waveforms, the presence of amplitude or phase steps can disrupt the estimation of frequency and rate-of-change-of-frequency (ROCOF). Standard methods based on phasor-models fail in the extraction of signal parameters during th ...

Linear Recursive State Estimation of Hybrid and Unbalanced AC/DC Micro-Grids using Synchronized Measurements

Mario Paolone, Willem Lambrichts

In this paper, we present an exact (i.e. non-approximated) and linear measurement model for hybrid AC/DC micro-grids for recursive state estimation (SE). More specifically, an exact linear model of a voltage source converter (VSC) is proposed. It relies on ...
