Adaptive Frequency Estimation in Smart Grid Applications
The tracking of power system frequency in real time is a prerequisite to detect abnormal system behaviour. This paper appears in a special issue on Smart Grid, and introduces a radically new concept of joint real-time frequency estimation and fault detection. Uniquely, this enables fast and accurate (sub-cycle) operation for unbalanced systems, where current frequency trackers are inadequate, slow, and biased. This work also sets the stage for the development of distributed frequency estimators in smart grid (gauging system imbalance), and has resulted in a patent application, GB1217737.4, and a tutorial in the foremost signal processing conference, ICASSP, in 2013.
