Abstract: Nowadays Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) performance evaluation depend on the a priori knowledge of the synchrophasors of the analyzed signals. Since synchrophasors are available only for the few benchmark signals of the standard IEC/IEEE 60255-118-1:2018, such assessment is impossible for other signals, such as those occurring in a real event of a substation. A new method for obtaining the synchrophasor of real signals is proposed in this webinar. A finite impulse response (FIR) filter, designed with the nonic O-spline is proposed to obtain phasor estimates asymptotically close to those of the ideal bandpass filter. The phasor estimation accuracy of one or several PMUs can then be assessed using the standard. In addition, it is possible to design two FIR differentiators to obtain frequency and ROCOF estimates close enough to those provided by the corresponding ideal differentiator filters, and largely compliant with the standard. This new set of filters opens the way to apply the synchrophasor standard to assess estimates of PMUs of different brands, when they process the signals of the same power system event. Furthermore, these filters can also be used to separate oscillating modes of power oscillations.
