Description
- This application relates to co-pending application “SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A FUNDAMENTAL FREQUENCY OF AN ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM,” application Ser. No. 13/097,796, also filed Apr. 29, 2011.
- The present invention is generally directed to a device and method for measuring power in an electrical power system. In particular, the present invention is directed to a device and method for measuring power at a fundamental frequency or at harmonic frequencies using a frequency detector and a dual-channel digitally controlled Oscillator.
- Electricity is commonly delivered from electricity suppliers to consumers in the form of alternating current (AC) at a certain fundamental frequency, e.g., 60 Hz in the U.S. The consumption of electricity, e.g., three-phase AC, is commonly measured by power meters. When the load of an power supply system includes non-linear components, harmonic frequencies, other than the fundamental frequency, might be created on the power supply line. Additionally, when the load is not purely resistive, the waveform of voltage V may lead or lag the waveform of current I in time or have a phase offset in the frequency domain.
- Electrical power at each frequency may include three components: apparent power (Papp), active power (Pact), and reactive power (Preact). The apparent power Papp(w) for a particular angular frequency w may be defined as the product of magnitudes of voltage V(w) and current I(w), i.e., P(w)=V(w)*I(w). The active power Pact(w) may be defined as the capacity of the load at a particular time or the energy that flows from power source to the load. The reactive power Preactive(w) may be defined as the energy that is bounced back from the load to the source. If the phase offset between current and voltage is φ, then Pact(w)=Papp(w)*|Cos(φ)| and Preact(w)=Papp(w)*|Sin(φ)|.
- When the number of non-linear loads, e.g., switching power supplies, increases, a larger amount of harmonic content may be present in the power system. These harmonics may limit the effectiveness of the power system to deliver electrical power from a source to a load. The combination of digital signal processing (DSP) and high performance analog to digital converters (ADCs) at low prices provides electrical power suppliers with new options for improving and optimizing electrical power meters. The owner suppliers may want to know how much electrical power is delivered not only at the fundamental frequency but also at harmonic frequencies. Also, the supplier of energy may want to know about the existence of harmonics because these harmonics have the potential of damaging some delivery equipment (e.g., wires and transformers).
- Current techniques for computing power at a fundamental frequency or harmonic frequencies are mostly based on phase locked loop (PLL) and band-pass filters. Other methods may use FFT transform. These methods and devices suffer from a prolonged calculation time. In particular, level of harmonics is mostly unknown and PLL performance degrades when trying to lock on signals that get closer and closer to the sampling frequency. In view of current techniques for measuring power consumptions, there is a need for computing power simultaneously at the fundamental frequency or at a plurality of harmonic frequencies in near real time.

An offset may be added to the current root mean square FF— RMS 2 at anadder 168 to perform offset correction for the computed current root mean square IF— RMS 2. - The computational units may further comprise a pair of
multipliers adder 154 for computing the active power of the fundamental frequency. Themultiplier 142 may multiply the filter output V1 and I1, and themultiplier 144 may multiply the filter output V2 and I2. The multiplication results of themultipliers adder 154, that is the computed active power of the fundamental frequency may be V1*I1+V2*I2. The computed active power of the fundamental frequency may be adjusted at a user gain stager 170 by a gain adjustment specified by the user. An offset may be added to the gain adjusted active power of the fundamental frequency at anadder 164 to perform offset correction for the computed active power of the fundamental frequency F_Act-Pwr. - The computational units may further comprise a pair of
multipliers multiplier 146 may multiply the filter output V1 and I2, and themultiplier 148 may multiply the filter output V2 and I1. At theadder 156, the multiplication result of themultiplier 146 may be subtracted (adding the negative) from the multiplication result of themultiplier 148, that is, the computed reactive power of the fundamental frequency may be V2*I1−V1*I2. The computed reactive power of the fundamental frequency may be adjusted at auser gain stager 172 by a gain adjustment specified by the user. An offset may be added to the gain adjusted reactive power of the fundamental frequency at anadder 166 to perform offset correction for the computed reactive power of the fundamental frequency F_React-Pwr. - In one embodiment, offset may be determined by computing a theoretical value of what is expected. Then that theoretical value may be compared with a value given by the harmonic analyzer (plus all the analog front-end). The difference may be the offset that can be programmed inside a power meter at a manufacturer and thus the result may be matched to the theory. in another embodiment, certain harmonic component may be forced to be zero and whatever non-zero value detected in this scenario will be the offset correction value that will make the harmonic analyzer detect a zero value.
- In one embodiment, three
frequency detectors 102 and threepower analyzers 112 may be incorporated in one semiconductor chip with one frequency detector and power analyzer for each phase. That is, in this embodiment, VF— RMS 2, IF— RMS 2, F—Act-Pwr and F —React-Pwr for each phase may be calculated simultaneously. -
FIG. 2 shows a component-level diagram of asystem 200 for measuring power at a fundamental frequency or harmonic frequencies according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In one example embodiment, the input voltage and current signals may be digitized AC voltage and current signals (e.g., using an analog to digital converter (ADC)). Thesystem 200 may comprise a first multiplexer (MUX) 202, asecond MUX 204, athird MUX 206, afrequency detector 102 ofFIG. 1 to detect the fundamental frequency of the AC current and apower analyzer 208 to analyze power of the AC current at the detected fundamental frequency or selected harmonic frequencies. In one embodiment, the analyzed power may include voltage and current: root mean square (RMS), and active and reactive power of the AC current of the fundamental frequency or selected harmonic frequencies. - The
first MUX 202 may select one voltage VA, VB or VC of the three-phase AC voltage to be input to thefrequency detector 102 according to a selection signal SEL1. SEL1 may allow the selection of one of VA, VB or VC to be used for extracting the frequency information for the harmonics power analysis. - The
second MUX 204 may have an input of ISUM signal in addition to the phase voltages VA, VB and VC. The ISUM signal may be the sum of all the currents from the 3 phases: A, B and C. If all these currents are equal in amplitude, but separated in phase by 120 degrees, their instant sum should be zero (in theory). This ISUM may be provided for a user to verify things. Thethird MUX 206 may have an input of signal IN in addition to the currents of three phases IA, IB and IC. The signal IN may be the real neutral current that comes back on a separate wire in some topologies of distributing 3-phase power. In other topologies, the signal IN may come back through earth (e.g., grounded). By setting the value of SEL2 signal, a user may analyze harmonics on these two currents ISUM and IN. - The
power analyzer 208 may comprise a digitally controlledoscillator 210 and functional units to extract discrete frequency components and functional units to compute various power. The digitally controlledoscillator 210 may differ from the digitally controlledoscillator 120 because it may generate sinusoidal signals S1′ and S2′ having harmonic frequencies instead of only the fundamental frequency detected by thefrequency detector 102. That is, S1′=sin(k·ωe·t+φr) and S2′=cos(k·ωe·t+φr), in which k may be an integer larger than one, and ωe=2πFe with Fe being the detected or estimated fundamental frequency of the AC current and φr being a random phase offset (e.g., a phase shift). - During operation, any harmonic frequencies to be analyzed may be determined by three indexes HARM—IDX1, HARM —IDX2 and HARM —IDX3.
- The
power analyzer 208 may differ from thepower analyzer 112 because of difference between the digitally controlledoscillator 210 and digitally controlledoscillator 120. The rest of thepower analyzer 208 may be identical to that of thepower analyzer 112 and may measure power of a selected harmonic frequency. The output V1, V2, I1 and I2 of thefilters — RMS 2, current root mean square for the selected harmonic frequency IH— RMS 2, active power for the selected harmonic frequency H_Act-Pwr and the reactive power for the selected harmonic frequency F_react-Pwr. - In one embodiment, one
frequency detector 102 and may be shared by threepower analyzers 208. The sharedfrequency detector 102 may be a frequency detector for any phase (e.g., A, B, or C) used inFIG. 1 . In this embodiment, threepower analyzers 208 may each include adual DCO 210, and VH— RMS 2, IH— RMS 2, H_Act-Pwr and H_React-Pwr for three different harmonic frequencies may be calculated simultaneously. For example, the index HARM_IDX1 may be 9, HARM_IDX2 may be 15 and HARM_IDX3 may be 20. That is, in this embodiment, VH— RMS 2, IH— RMS 2, H_Act-Pwr and H_React-Pwr may be calculated for harmonics 9, 15 and 20 continuously for one of the phases A, B, C or ISUM & IN. In this embodiment, thefrequency detector 102 and threepower analyzers 208 may be incorporated in one semiconductor chip. That is, in this embodiment, three sets of power VH— RMS 2, IH— RMS 2, H_Act-Pwr and H_React-Pwr for three different harmonic frequencies may be calculated simultaneously. -
FIG. 3 shows an example process of calculating power at a fundamental frequency or at harmonic frequencies according to one example embodiment of the present invention. Atblock 302, a fundamental frequency of an AC current may be detected. As described above, an input voltage signal Vin may be fed into a frequency detector which may detect the fundamental frequency by comparing to the input voltage signal to a locally generated reference signal having an initial phase, e.g., 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Atblock 304, a pair of substantially mutually orthogonal sinusoidal signals may be generated based on the detected fundamental frequency. As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , thedual DCO 120 ordual DCO 210 may generate orthogonal, unit amplitude sinusoidal waveforms. Atblock 306, the first and second sinusoidal signals may be multiplied with a current signal and a voltage signal of the AC current respectively. As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , the input voltage signal and current signal may be multiplied with the sinusoidal signals at the multipliers 122-128. Atblock 308, the multiplication products may be filtered respectively (e.g., by the filters 130-136 as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 and described above), -
FIG. 4 shows a component-level diagram of asystem 400 performing further calculation based on measured fundamental and/or harmonic power according to one example embodiment of the present invention. Thesystem 400 may include afrequency detector 402, afirst power analyzer 404 for power analysis for the fundamental frequency, asecond power analyzer 408 for power analysis for a harmonic frequency, a real timepower factor analyzer 420 and a real timeharmonic distortion analyzer 430. In one embodiment, thesystem 400 may be incorporated in one semiconductor chip. - The
frequency detector 402 may receive an input signal from aMUX 418, which may select one of the voltage signals VA, VB or VC of the three phases according to a SEL1 signal. Thefrequency detector 402 may be afrequency detector 102 as described above with respect toFIG. 1 . Thepower analyzer 404 may receive a signal indicating the detected fundamental frequency from thefrequency detector 402, the selected voltage signal from theMUX 418, and a corresponding current signal selected by theMUX 420 according to the SEA signal. Thepower analyzer 404 may be apower analyzer 112 as described above with respect toFIG. 1 for power analysis of the fundamental frequency and may output calculated powers VF— RMS 2, IF— RMS 2, F_Act-Pwr and F_React-Pwr (not shown). - The real time
power factor analyzer 420 may include twosquare root calculators divider 428. Thesquare root calculator 422 may generate a square root of the VF— RMS 2 and thesquare root calculator 424 may generate a square root of the IF— RMS 2. The square root of the VF— RMS 2 and the square root of the IF— RMS 2 may be multiplied at the multiplier 426 to generate an apparent power APP_Pwr. Thedivider 428 may divide the active power F_Act-Pwr by the apparent power APP_Pwr to generate a power factor (e.g., F_Act-Pwr/APP_Pwr) for the fundamental frequency. Because thepower analyzer 404 may generate power analysis at real time continuously, the real timepower factor analyzer 420 may generate the power factor at real time too. - The
power analyzer 408 may receive a signal indicating the detected fundamental frequency from thefrequency detector 402, a selected voltage signal (one of the VA, VB, VC and ISUM signal) by aMUX 414, and a corresponding current signal (one of the IA, IB, IC and IN signal) selected by aMUX 416 according to the SEL2 signal. Thepower analyzer 408 may also receive three indexes HARM_IDX1, HARM_IDX2 and HARM_IDX3 to select a particular harmonic frequency to analyze. The power analyzer 4108 may be apower analyzer 208 for power analysis of the fundamental frequency and may output calculated powers VH3— RMS 2, IH3— RMS 2, H_Act-Pwr (not shown) and F_React-Pwr (not shown). - The real time
harmonic distortion analyzer 430 may include a first pair ofsquare root calculators — RMS 2 and VH3— RMS 2 respectively, and afirst divider 436 to generate a voltage harmonic distortion by dividing the square root of VF— RMS 2 by the square root of VH3— RMS 2. The real timeharmonic distortion analyzer 430 may also include a second pair ofsquare root calculators — RMS 2 and IH313 RMS 2 respectively, and asecond divider 436 to generate a current harmonic distortion by dividing the square root of IF— RMS 2 by the square root of IH3— RMS 2. Because thepower analyzer 408 may generate power analysis at real time continuously, the real timeharmonic distortion analyzer 430 may generate harmonic distortion results at real time too, - Those skilled in the art may appreciate from the foregoing description that the present invention may be implemented in a variety of forms, and that the various embodiments may be implemented alone or in combination. Therefore, while the embodiments of the present invention have been described in connection with particular examples thereof, the true scope of the embodiments and/or methods of the present invention should not be so limited since other modifications will become apparent to the skilled practitioner upon a study of the drawings, specification, and following claims.
