Beschreibung:
<jats:p>Grid impedance is an important parameter and is used to perform impedance-based stability analysis for the operation of grid-connected systems, such as power electronics-interfaced solar, wind and other distributed power generation systems. The identification of grid impedance with the help of broadband signals is a popular method, but its robustness depends strongly on the harmonic disturbances caused by non-linear loads or power electronics. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of how harmonics affect the identification of grid impedance while using broadband measurements. Furthermore, a compensation method is proposed to remove the disturbing influences of harmonics on broadband impedance identification. This method is based on exploiting the properties of the used maximum-length binary sequence (MLBS). To explain the methodology of the proposed method, the design basis for the excitation signal is discussed in detail. The analysis from simulations and a real measurement in an industrial power grid shows the effectiveness of the proposed method in compensating the disturbing influences of harmonics on broadband impedance measurements.</jats:p>
