Abstract: The computational complexity of interpolation algorithms is a major concern for real-world power harmonic parameter estimation based on the windowed-interpolation Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. A new interpolation algorithm is proposed in this study to estimate the harmonic parameters of power system. This technique is based on the frequency-domain characteristics of the mainlobe of the weighting cosine window, and its calculation formulas are obtained by employing Newton's divided-difference interpolation polynomial. The validity of the proposed algorithm is confirmed through computer simulations via MATLAB and field tests in a photovoltaic system. The results show that the proposed algorithm has the advantage of low computational effort and can be employed for any cosine window.

Keywords: FFT; harmonic parameter estimation; cosine window; interpolation; Newton's divided-difference interpolation.
