Synchrophasor measurements are performed to detect these problems and monitor the system’s stability. For this purpose, the Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) method is proposed for synchrophasor measurement in this study. First, the frequency value of the power signal is estimated using the Artificial Ecosystem algorithm (AEO). This estimated value is assigned as the reference value for the QAM method, and the power signal is decomposed into negative and positive parts at this frequency value. These components are then filtered using a moving average filter, which is a low-pass filter that eliminates high-frequency components to obtain components with the frequency estimated by the AEO. Consequently, the necessary frequency component’s amplitude and phase information are acquired. The effectiveness of this suggested approach is examined for the IEEE Std. C37.118.1 standard’s M and P classes. According to the obtained results, the proposed method performs phasor estimation below the error levels specified in IEEE Std. C37.118.1.}, number={3}, publisher={Kirikkale University}
