Power Systems Stability through Piecewise Monotonic Data Approximations – Part 2: Adaptive Number of Monotonic Sections and Performance of L1PMA, L2WPMA, and L2CXCV in Overhead Medium-Voltage Broadband over Power Lines Networks

Athanasios G. Lazaropoulos

Abstract


This second paper investigates the role of the number of monotonic sections during the mitigation of measurement differences in overhead medium-voltage broadband over power lines (OV MV BPL) transfer functions. The performance of two well-known piecewise monotonic data approximations that are based on the number of monotonic sections (i.e., L1PMA and L2WPMA) is assessed in comparison with the occurred measurement differences and L2CXCV, which is a piecewise monotonic data approximation without considering monotonic sections.

The contribution of this paper is double. First, further examination regarding the definition of the optimal number of monotonic section is made so that the accuracy of L1PMA can be significantly enhanced. In fact, the goal is to render piecewise monotonic data approximations that are based on the optimal number of monotonic sections as the leading approximation against the other ones without monotonic sections. Second, a generic framework concerning the definition of an adaptive number of monotonic sections is proposed for given OV MV BPL topology.
