Abstract

This paper presents a new hybridized algorithm known as Firefly algorithm-based least square (FA-LS) method for power system harmonic estimation. It uses a Firefly algorithm-based approach to estimate the phases and a least-square method for estimating the amplitudes of the harmonic signals. The simulation results are presented to demonstrate the estimation accuracy of FA-LS with the recently proposed particle swarm optimization with passive congregation and artificial bee colony with LS algorithms. The obtained results of FA-LS reveal that this algorithm is best in terms of accuracy and computational time. Practical validation is also made with the experimentation of the algorithm with real-time data obtained from a switch mode power supply with the power quality analyzer and estimation is performed under simulating environment.
