Phasor Calculation – Off-nominal Frequency • DFS of the fundamental 60 Hz component is exact when the nominal frequency is at 60 Hz: constant magnitude and phase increasing linearly with time • At off-nominal frequency, the frequency perturbation results the phasor rotating on an ellipse. The magnitude will have a second harmonic (120 Hz) component super-imposed on a constant magnitude, and the phase will also has a second harmonic component on the linear phase component.
MATLAB PMU Simulator • Main features: • Non-recursive DFT • Off-nominal frequency operation • Unbalanced input signals • Symmetrical component estimation • and complex gain effects • On-the-fly frequency changes
