Abstract
This thesis presents the application of a nonlinear adaptive filter to selected areas in power systems. The filter has demonstrated excellent performance against con-ventional methods in biomedical applications. The algorithm is robust in structure and highly immune to noise. Applications in this thesis include (1) sag detection, (2) symmetrical component estimation, (3) phase and frequency estimation, (4) sag analysis and (5) distributed generation synchronisation and protection. The appli-cations were chosen such that the amplitude, phase and frequency tracking ability are thoroughly tested.
