Parameter estimation procedures for compact fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts

Abstract Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are increasingly present in low voltage distribution systems due to their small energy consumption in comparison with traditional incandescent lamps. This damages power quality because CFLs have a non-linear behavior and inject harmonics into the distribution system. This paper studies estimation procedures for CFLs and presents estimation algorithms based on a “black box” CFL model and actual measurements. The estimation procedures are validated with laboratory measurements.
