Abstract :
In this paper, the impedance of low voltage grids in frequency range of 2 kHz - 150 kHz is estimated using rectangular pulse injections and signal processing techniques. The grid impedance is defined as division of voltage signal to current signal in frequency domain. In noisy condition, the accuracy of impedance estimation is directly dependent to energy of injected signal. The injection signal must has sufficient energy in the frequency range of estimation for an accurate impedance estimation. In the proposed method, several injection signals with different widths are selected with the Genetic algorithm. The grid responses to the injected signals are measured and then denoised for an accurate impedance estimation. When the measurement duration is low, the whole transient state of the grid is not measured; hence the impedance estimation is not accurate. Therefore, in this paper a method is proposed for determining the best measurement duration for impedance estimation using Time-Frequency distributions. The proposed method is applied on several simulated grids and the results show the ability and accuracy of the proposed method in grid impedance estimation.
