Resumen:
Maintaining sinusoidal or near-sinusoidal operating conditions in electrical systems is essential, as is their accurate assessment. This letter proposes a novel metric, namely the sinusoidality index, which quantifies the instantaneous deviation of the trajectory of an ac voltage vector with respect to a circle under any periodic operating conditions. This metric differs from conventional Fourier-based estimations by accounting for the trajectory of the waveform rather than its spectral decomposition. A variety of examples illustrates the properties of the proposed metric and highlights insights that may not be captured by conventional approaches.
