Gain Normalized Adaptive Observer For Three-Phase System

Abstract This paper proposes the estimation of parameters and symmetrical components of unbalanced grid using adaptive observer framework. Recent adaptive observers proposed in the literature doesn’t employ any gain normalization in their frequency estimation loop. This can be problematic in the presence of large voltage dip. This paper proposes a solution to overcome this limitation using a novel gain normalized - frequency-locked loop (GN-FLL). Technical details of GN-FLL, stability analysis and tuning are provided in this paper. Comparative experimental results with adaptive Luenberger observer, second-order generalized integrator - phase-locked loop (SOGI-PLL) and enhanced PLL (EPLL) are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness the proposed technique in the single-phase case. Comparative experimental results with double SOGI-FLL (DSOGI-FLL) and adaptive notch filter (ANF) are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness the proposed technique in the three-phase case.
