Abstract
Harmonics and interharmonics in power systems distort the grid voltage, deteriorate the quality and stability of the power grid. Therefore, rapid and accurate harmonic separation from the grid voltage is crucial to power system. In this article, a variational mode decomposition-based method is proposed to separate harmonics and interharmonics in the grid voltage. The method decomposes the voltage signal into fundamental, harmonic, interharmonic components through the frequency spectrum. An empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and an ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) can be combined with the independent component analysis (ICA) to analyze the harmonics and intherharmonics. By comparing EMD-ICA, EEMD-ICA methods, the proposed method has several advantages: (1) a higher correlation coefficient of all the components is found; (2) it requires much less time to accomplish signal separation; (3) amplitude, frequency, and phase angle are all retained by this method. The results obtained from both synthetic and real-life signals demonstrate the good performance of the proposed method.
