Dynamic variation in power system frequency is required to be estimated in order to implement correcting measures. This study presents power system frequency estimation by using a leaky least mean-square algorithm. The proposed approach uses a variable leak adjustment technique to avoid drifting of the weights involved in the estimation mechanism. A variable adaptation step size is also incorporated in the algorithm to attain faster convergence. The performance of the proposed algorithm is studied through simulations for several critical cases that often arise in a power system. These studies show that the present algorithm is superior over the existing ones in estimating power system frequency. Studies made on experimental data also support the superiority.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
