Difficulty with Frequency and ROCOF measurement Allen Goldstein NIST The First IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid Synchronized Measurements and Analytics Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA | May 20 -23, 2019

Frequency and ROCOF • Many ways to measure: • • • Zero Crossing Peak detection Hilbert Transform Fourier techniques Derivative of estimated phase etc. • All for these have issues when measuring power system F and d. F: • Harmonics, interharmonics and noise shift the zero crossing times • Discrete Fourier transform leakage • Error and noise in phase estimation • Non-ideal filtering and aliasing The First IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid Synchronized Measurements and Analytics Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA | May 20 -23, 2019

Frequency and ROCOF are very important • We have come a long way • We need to trust the measurements • IEC TC 95 (255 -187) and ANSI 81 are protection devices • standards to not include requirements performance frequency measurement output Vibrating Reed Frequency Meter Source: Stack.

Total Vector Error vs. Magnitude and Phase Error Allen Goldstein NIST The First IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid Synchronized Measurements and Analytics Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA | May 20 -23, 2019

TVE vs ME and PE • TVE is a SCALAR value equal to the MAGNITUDE of the difference between the PMU reported synchrophasor (a vector) and a REFERENCE synchrophasor (another vector) • The difference between two vectors is, of course another vector and TVE is the magnitude of that vector • TVE is a very convenient term to calculate, state, and to compare against requirements. • However it makes no sense to add or subtract two TVE values because the vector ANGLE information has been lost. • Also, when trying to analyze PMU error causes, TVE is not very helpful The First IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid Synchronized Measurements and Analytics Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA | May 20 -23, 2019
