This paper deals with the performance of unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) based on current source converter (CSC) topology. UPQC is used to mitigate the power quality problems like harmonics and sag. The shunt and series active filter performs the simultaneous elimination of current and voltage problems. The power fed is linked through common DC link and maintains constant real power ex...

ABSTRACT This paper presents a new algorithm for harmonic estimation in power systems. It utilizes separable least squares (SLS) technique to estimate the magnitude and phase angle of the harmonics by analyzing the waveform. As well as hybrid techniques have been utilized in this paper to estimate harmonics, real coded genetic algorithm (RCGA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) utilized to e...

Classical ellipsoidal and sphero-conal harmonics are polynomial solutions of the Laplace equation that can be expressed in terms of Lamé polynomials. Generalized ellipsoidal and sphero-conal harmonics are polynomial solutions of the more general Dunkl equation that can be expressed in terms of Stieltjes polynomials. Niven’s formula connecting ellipsoidal and sphero-conal harmonics is generalize...

in this paper a novel hybrid algorithm for harmonics estimation in power systems is proposed. the estimation of the harmonic components is a nonlinear problem due to the nonlinearity of phase of sinusoids in distorted waveforms. most researchers implemented nonlinear methods to extract the harmonic parameters. however, nonlinear methods for amplitude estimation increase time of convergence. hen...

This paper presents application of parametric techniques (Estimation of signal parameter by rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT), Root multiple signal classification (Root MUSIC)) for the estimation of harmonics/inter harmonics produced by wind generator under constant, variable rotor speed, load imbalance. Accuracy of estimation by parametric techniques is checked on synthetic signal as w...
