Abstract:In the case of non-integer period sampling, when using traditional fast Fourier transform (FFT) for parameter estimation of dense spectral inter-harmonics adjacent to the fundamental/harmonic, the inter-harmonic detection error is relatively high due to the influence of spectral leakage, and it is even difficult to judge the existence of dense spectrum. Therefore, an interharmonic detection algorithm based on allphase fast Fourier transform (apFFT) and least square fitting with constraints is proposed. The principle of the proposed algorithm is to first estimate the inter-harmonic parameters by using the apFFT, construct a fitting function and set constraints on the basis of the pre-estimated parameters, and then use the least square fitting to correct the inter-harmonic parameters. By comparing the effects of different constraint methods, the best constraint method is selected to constrain the amplitude and phase respectively. Simulation experiments show that, compared with other FFT-based algorithms, the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the detection error of inter-harmonic parameters and has good noise immunity.
