ABSTRACT

The discrete Hartley transform (DHT) is a real-valued transform and is closely related to the familiar Fourier transform (FT). This paper presents the application of DHT for power system harmonics and inter-harmonics identification and measurements. Unlike the DFT, DHT can identify these harmonics without any restriction on the frequency of the harmonic to be identified. Also DHT can easily identify the harmonics and interharmonics directly without any mathematical models for any one of them. The proposed algorithm uses directly the samples of the voltage or current waveform at the location where the power quality criteria are to meet. In this paper, the convolution property of the DHT is used in the identification and measurement process. Because the Hartley transform is a real transform, it is more computationally efficient than the Fourier and Laplace transforms. Different examples are presented. Effects of critical parameters on the performance of the proposed algorithm are discussed.
