Description

The Second-Order Low-Pass Filter (Discrete or Continuous) block implements a second-order low pass filter in conformance with IEEE Std 421.5-2016[1]. In the standard, the filter is a single input, single output signal conditioner that is used in the Power System Stabilizer PSS1A.

In the PSS1A, the filter accounts for some of the low-frequency effects of high-frequency torsional filters. It can also help shape the gain and phase characteristics of the stabilizer.

To switch between continuous and discrete implementations of the Second-Order Low-Pass Filter (Discrete or Continuous) block, adjust the Sample time parameter value.

Initial Conditions

To specify the initial conditions of this block, set Initialization to:

  • Inherited from block input — The block sets the state and output initial conditions to the initial input.

  • Specify as parameter — The block sets the state initial condition to the value of Initial state.

Ports

Input

Parameters

A1, the signal conditioning frequency filter coefficient of s.

A2, the signal conditioning frequency filter coefficient of s2.

Specify the initial state condition for this block. For more information, see Initial Conditions.

Block initial state.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set Initialization to Specify as parameter.

Time between consecutive block executions. During execution, the block produces outputs and, if appropriate, updates its internal state. For more information, see What Is Sample Time? and Specify Sample Time.

For inherited discrete-time operation, set this parameter to -1. For discrete-time operation, set this parameter to a positive integer. For continuous-time operation, set this parameter to 0.

If this block is in a masked subsystem or a variant subsystem that supports switching between continuous operation and discrete operation, promote this parameter to ensure correct switching between the continuous and discrete implementations of the block. For more information, see Promote Block Parameters on a Mask.
