A Demodulation-Based Technique for Robust Estimation of Single-Phase Grid Voltage Fundamental Parameters

TLDR: A robust technique for the single-phase grid voltage fundamental amplitude, frequency, and phase angle estimation under distorted grid conditions based on a demodulation method tuned at a fixed frequency, which is less affected by dc offset, can provide faster frequency estimation, and also avoids interdependent loop, trigonometric, and inverse trig onometric functions operation.

Abstract: This paper proposes a robust technique for the single-phase grid voltage fundamental amplitude, frequency, and phase angle estimation under distorted grid conditions. It is based on a demodulation method tuned at a fixed frequency. It does not have stability issue due to an open-loop structure, does not require real-time evaluation of trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions, and also avoids the use of look-up table. It can provide accurate estimation of the single-phase grid voltage fundamental parameters under dc offset and harmonics. When compared with a frequency adaptive demodulation technique, the proposed one is less affected by dc offset, can provide faster frequency estimation, and also avoids interdependent loop, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric functions operation. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed technique.
