Abstract:A method for exact calculation of static harmonic using adaptive sampling period based on correlation calculation is presented. It is an iterative optimization procedure which searches for the most suitable sampling period according to the correlation coefficient of two adjacent sections and the quadric modified equation. The harmonic parameters are finally presented by the FFT calculation of the latest synchronous sequence. The algorithm does not require any knowledge about the system frequency,and the long sequence DFT computation can be avoid because of the constant sampling window. Various case studies using simulation data show that the proposed algorithm has fast convergent speed and high detection precision even if the system frequency deviation is large.
