Estimation of power supply harmonic impedance using a controlled voltage disturbance
A novel method for power system impedance estimation is presented. The method employs a power converter to inject a voltage transient onto the supply system. The impedance is estimated through correlation of the measured voltage and current transients. Simulations and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this measurement technique.
A Technique for Power Supply Harmonic Impedance Estimation Using a Controlled Voltage Disturbance
A method for power system impedance estimation is presented. The method employs a power converter to inject a voltage transient onto the supply system. As the technique employs controlled power electronic devices it may be used as a stand alone piece of a portable measurement equipment, or it may be embedded into the functions of an active shunt filter for improved harmonic control. The impedance is estimated through correlation of the measured voltage and current transients. Simulations and experimental results demonstrate the measurement technique is highly accurate and effective.
