A Phasor Estimation Of A Sum Of Complex Exponentials Using Prony And Matrix Pencil Method With Prefiltering
Abstract
as the increase in demand of electric power supply, the necessity to transmit more power has become the need of
the hour. The excess power can be transferred by building new infrastructure (costly and time taking) or by using series
compensation (relatively cheaper and faster alternative). Series compensation is a technique in which line inductance is
compensated by placing a capacitor in series with the line. This helps in increasing the transmission capacity of the existing
line. Series compensated lines face several challenges when it comes to protection and fault location. Current and voltage
signals used by the protection and fault location algorithms, contain considerable sub-synchronous frequency components
(SSFCs) which do not damp sufficiently within a typical fault clearing time of the line protection system. Presence of such
SSFCs affects the accuracy of the available phasor estimation techniques which in turn impacts the accuracy of phasor-based
fault location algorithms.
In the presented research work a new offline Prony method and Matrix Pencil Method based phasor estimation techniques is
introduced, which almost eliminates these SSFCs in addition to removal of noise, harmonics and decaying DC and results in
more accurate phasor estimation for fault location in series compensated transmission lines. The idea is to estimate signal
and the Current/voltage signal is then used to perform phasor estimation. The performance of the proposed technique is
evaluated using an assumed theoretical signal inMatlab simulation and results are compared with the available accepted
techniques.
