Static performance comparison of prominent synchrophasor algorithms

摘要

Synchrophasor technology has become a prominent wide area measurement technique in the recent years. Development of robust synchrophasor estimation algorithms has been one of the key focus areas in the field of synchrophasor. However, there is a lack of performance comparison studies of these algorithms. Furthermore, the majority of existing studies are limited to simulation-based performance evaluation. This paper analyses the steady-state performance of three prominent synchrophasor estimation algorithms in simulations and hardware platforms. Results show that the performance of synchrophasor algorithms significantly vary based on the test case. Improvements to the synchrophasor estimation algorithms are also proposed and discussed in the paper.
