To address this issue, a fixed length moving average filter-based synchrophasor measurement algorithm for P class phasor measurement units (PMUs) (FA-PSMA) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a novel fixed length adaptive moving average filter (FAMAF) is proposed. The FAMAF has an adaptive filter capability with a fixed data window length. Then, the FAMAF is applied after a phase-locked loop (PLL) for enhanced disturbance rejection capability under frequency drifts. Finally, a detailed performance assessment is presented to validate the performance of the proposed FA-PSMA. Theoretical analysis and simulation results validate that the proposed FA-PSMA can track the grid frequency and phasor accurately under distorted grid conditions. The response time and measurement accuracy satisfy the requirements specified in IEC/IEEE 60255-118-1. View Full-Tex %U https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/12/21/4168
