This paper presents a new recursive Newton type algorithm devoted to f
requency relaying. The algorithm is designed from the nonrecursive New
ton type algorithm and recursive least error squares algorithm. The fr
equency is estimated from the uniformly sampled voltage signal. The al
gorithm testing based on computer simulated and experimentally obtaine
d data record processing confirmed the good features of the algorithm
developed. Due to its computational efficiency, the algorithm is suita
ble for various real-time power system measurement applications.
