%0 Journal Article %T Active Power Measurements - An Overview and a Comparison of DSP Algorithms by Noncoherent Sampling %A Milos Sedlacek %A Zdenek Stoudek %J Metrology and Measurement Systems %D 2011 %I %R 10.2478/v10178-011-0001-1 %X This paper presents an overview of algorithms for one-phase active power estimation using digital signal processing in the time domain and in the frequency domain, and compares the properties of these algorithms for a sinusoidal test signal. The comparison involves not only algorithms that have already been published, but also a new algorithm. Additional information concerning some known algorithms is also included. We present the results of computer simulations in MATLAB and measurement results gained by means of computer plug-in boards, both multiplexed and using simultaneous signal sampling. The use of new cosine windows with a recently published iterative algorithm is also included, and the influence of additive noise in the test signal is evaluated. %K power estimation %K digital signal processing %K non-coherent sampling %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/h6813l3253x2x206/?p=2974d25455c14b14bba06174b55811ba&pi=0
