    摘要: A new method of compensating for errors in phasor estimation due to oscillations caused by discrete fourier transforms used to estimate signal frequency is provided. The method uses a variable N-point DFT to compute one or more phasors based on data acquired from one or more sampled signals. At each sampling interval the change in phasor angle between the current sampling interval and the previous sampling interval is determined and used to estimate the instantaneous frequency of the signal. A non-oscillating phasor indicative of the instantaneous magnitude, angular frequency, and phase angle of the signal is generated based on the instantaneous frequency estimate. Instantaneous frequencies are averaged over a cycle of the signal to generate an average cycle frequency. In addition, a number of discrete frequencies and corresponding DFT windows based on a fixed sampling rate and a predetermined fundamental frequency of the signal are defined and used in estimating the instantaneous frequency. The DFT window is adjusted by setting it equal to the DFT window corresponding to the discrete frequency closest to the average cycle frequency. A generator protection system analyzing voltage and current signals output from a generator is also provided. The voltage and current signals are monitored by respective voltage and current sensors to produce a plurality of signals representative of voltage and current characteristics of the generator. The system comprises components for receiving and sampling signal input, and for processing the samples according to the inventive method.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for over current backup protection is provided. The method generates a set of root mean square (rms) values from samples that are taken from the system current. Several rms current values are averaged to generate an estimated rms over current value. The estimated over current value is compared with a predetermined threshold value. If the estimated current is above the predetermined threshold value, a fault protection mechanism, such as opening a circuit breaker, is activated. A generator protection unit having digital signal processing capabilities executes the inventive method to provide protection from over current episodes.

    摘要: A method and system for detecting the peak of respective half-cycles of a sinusoidal waveform. The sinusoidal waveform is rectified and only sample points above a first threshold are analyzed. The peaks of each half-cycle are only accepted if they are above a second, greater threshold. Peaks below the second threshold are not accepted. The peaks themselves are detected by starting a counter at the first sample in the rectified waveform which is above the first threshold value. Once the rectified waveform descends below the first threshold, the counter is stopped and the maximum value of the previous k samples is the peak value, where k is the counter value for the successive samples above the first threshold. The peak value so determined is rejected if it is less than the second threshold value. On the other hand, when the peak value is above the second threshold, it is averaged with the last valid peak value (above the second threshold). Thus, the V/Hz value remains the same until a new, valid peak is determined. A preferred embodiment implements such a digital peak detector in a digital relay system for detecting overexcitation of a power system.

    摘要: A method for estimating phasors and tracking the frequency of a signal during frequency ramping is provided. The method uses a variable N-point DFT periodically to compute one or more phasors based on data acquired from one or more sampled signals. The period between DFT computations is a predetermined number of sample periods. After each DFT computation, the change in phasor angle between the current phasor estimate and the most previous phasor estimate is determined and used to estimate the instantaneous frequency of the signal. The current instantaneous frequency estimate and the most previous instantaneous frequency estimate are averaged to compute an average cycle frequency. In addition, a number of discrete frequencies and corresponding DFT windows based on a fixed sampling rate and a predetermined fundamental frequency of the signal are defined and used in estimating the instantaneous frequency. Once the average cycle frequency is determined the DFT window is adjusted by setting it equal to the DFT window corresponding to the discrete frequency closest to the average cycle frequency. A generator protection system analyzing voltage and current signals output from a generator is also provided. The voltage and current signals are monitored by respective voltage and current sensors to produce a plurality of signals representative of voltage and current characteristics of the generator. The system comprises components for receiving and sampling signal input, and for processing the samples according to the inventive method.
