%0 Journal Article %T Effect of Noise Covariance Matrices in Kalman Filter Performance of Power System Harmonics Detection %A Hisham Alrawashdeh %A Johnson Asumadu %A Jumana Alshawawreh %J International Journal of Electrical, Electronics and Computer Systems (IJEECS) %D 2013 %I International Journal of Electrical, Electronics and Computer Systems %X The prior knowledge of the covariance noise matrices is effecting the performance of the Kalman filter for detecting power system harmonics, In this paper the effect of the noise matrices will be investigated under several circumstances, to determine the quality and the convergence of the Kalman filter in power system harmonics detection. %U http://www.ijeecs.org/archive/02.March_2013_IJEECS_p21378.pdf?attredirects=0
