Spectral Kurtosis Based Methodology for the Identification of Stationary Load Signatures in Electrical Signals from a Sustainable Building
March 1, 2023
The increasing use of nonlinear loads in the power grid introduces some unwanted effects, such as harmonic and interharmonic contamination. Since the existence of spectral contamination causes waveform distortion that may be harmful to the loads that are connected to the grid, it is important to identify the frequency components that are related to specific loads in order to determine how relevant their contribution is to the waveform distortion levels. Due to the diversity of frequency components that are merged in an electrical signal, it is a challenging task to discriminate the relevant frequencies from those that are not. Therefore, it is necessary to develop techniques that allow performing this selection in an efficient way. This paper proposes the use of spectral kurtosis for the identification of stationary frequency components in electrical signals along the day in a sustainable building. Then, the behavior of the identified frequencies is analyzed to determine which of the loads connected to the grid are introducing them. Experimentation is performed in a sustainable building where, besides the loads associated with the normal operation of the building, there are several power electronics equipment that is used for the electric generation process from renewable sources. Results prove that using the proposed methodology it is possible to detect the behavior of specific loads, such as office equipment and air conditioning.
