Recursive implementation of MUSIC algorithm to minimize power system disturbances

•MUSIC is recursively formulated to track frequencies.•MUSIC is used with notch filters to extract power disturbances.•Experimental results prove the practicality of proposed concepts.

This paper exhibits new recursive implementation of the root-MUSIC algorithm in power system applications in order to extract the instantaneous power disturbances, which emanate from the arc furnace. The MUSIC algorithm is selected because it has an outstanding capability to estimate and track the frequencies of all types of distortion such as harmonics and interharmonics. The utilized algorithm has been newly developed so as to recursively track the instantaneous disturbances in the arc furnace current and consequently mitigate them. The suggested development of the recursive root-MUSIC is compared with the ESPRIT in order to prove that the adopted technique outperforms the high-resolution common techniques in a noisy or non-noisy environment. The instantaneous disturbance is formed by an innovative formulation of the recursive notch filter. Moreover, the experimental results are given to prove the practicality of the proposed concepts and techniques.
