1994

Electric power quality disturbance detection using wavelet transform analysis

Santoso, S.; Powers, E.J.; Grady, W.M.

Time-Frequency and Time-Scale Analysis, 1994., Proceedings of the IEEE-SP

International Symposium on , 1994

Page(s): 166 -169

Abstract :

The objective of the paper is to present a novel approach to detect and localize various

electric power quality disturbances using wavelet transform analysis. Unlike other

approaches where the detection is performed directly in the time domain, detection using

wavelet transform analysis approach is carried out in the time-scale domain. As far as

detection in power quality disturbance is concerned, one- or two-scale signal

decomposition is adequate to discriminate disturbances from their background. This

approach is robust in detecting and localizing a wide range of power disturbances such as

fast voltage fluctuations, short and long duration voltage variations, and harmonic

distortion.

Driesen, J.; Van Craenenbroeck, T.; Reekmans, R.; Van Dommelen, D.

Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference, 1996. IMTC-96. Conference

Proceeedings.IEEE , Volume: 1 , 1996

Page(s): 474 -479 vol.1

Abstract :

This paper presents the possibilities offered by the dyadic-orthonormal wavelet transform

used in the multiresolution analysis of voltage- and current-signals. This transform proves

to have some advantages over the classical FFT-based algorithms, when used in electric

power quality assessment and the analysis of waveforms. Practical examples using

waveforms generated by energy saving lighting equipment, remote-control signals and an

adjustable speed drive, are presented.

 


Application of wavelets to model short-term power system disturbances

Pillay, P.; Bhattacharjee, A.

Power Systems, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 11 Issue: 4 , Nov. 1996

Page(s): 2031 -2037

Abstract :

This paper presents an advanced mathematical tool for the analysis of power system

disturbances. Disturbances that are nonperiodic require a more powerful mathematical

technique than the Fourier series. The "wavelet transformation" is one such tool that can

be used. The wavelet transform translates the time-domain function into a representation

localized not only in frequency but also in time. In this paper, the theory is applied to

model several short term events like a capacitor switching transient, an autoreclosure, and

a voltage dip.

 


Power quality assessment via wavelet transform analysis

Santoso, S.; Powers, E.J.; Grady, W.M.; Hofmann, P.

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 11 Issue: 2 , April 1996

Page(s): 924 -930

Abstract :

In this paper we present a new approach to detect, localize, and investigate the feasibility

of classifying various types of power quality disturbances. The approach is based on

wavelet transform analysis, particularly the dyadic-orthonormal wavelet transform. The

key idea underlying the approach is to decompose a given disturbance signal into other

signals which represent a smoothed version and a detailed version of the original signal.

The decomposition is performed using multiresolution signal decomposition techniques.

We demonstrate and test our proposed technique to detect and localize disturbances with

actual power line disturbances. In order to enhance the detection outcomes, we utilize the

squared wavelet transform coefficients of the analyzed power line signal. Based on the

results of the detection and localization, we carry out an initial investigation of the ability to

uniquely characterize various types of power quality disturbances. This investigation is

based on characterizing the uniqueness of the squared wavelet transform coefficients for

each power quality disturbance.

disturbances

Lee, C.H.; Lee, J.S.; Kim, J.O.; Nam, S.W.

Circuits and Systems, 1997. ISCAS '97., Proceedings of 1997 IEEE International

Symposium on , Volume: 4 , 1997

Page(s): 2681 -2684 vol.4

Abstract :

The objective of this paper is to present a systematic approach to feature vector

extraction for the automatic classification of power quality (PQ) disturbances, where

discrete wavelet transform (DWT), signal power estimation and data compression

methods are utilized to improve the classification performance and reduce computational

complexity. To demonstrate the performance and applicability of the proposed method,

some test results obtained by analyzing 7-class power quality disturbances, generated by

the EMTP, with white Gaussian noise are also provided.

 


Power quality disturbance data compression using wavelet transform methods

Santoso, S.; Powers, E.J.; Grady, W.M.

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 12 Issue: 3 , July 1997

Page(s): 1250 -1257

Abstract :

In this paper we present a wavelet compression technique for power quality disturbance

data. The compression technique is performed through signal decomposition, thresholding

of wavelet transform coefficient and signal reconstruction. Threshold values are

determined by weighing the maximun value at ech scale. Wavelet transform coefficients

whose values are below the threshold are discarded, while those that areare above the

threshold are kept along with temporal locations. Whe show the efficacy of the technique

by compressing actual disturbance data. The file size of the compressed data is only

one-sixth to one-third thathat of the original data. Therefore, the cost related to storing

and transmitting the data is significantly reduced.

 


1998

A measurement method based on the wavelet transform for power quality

Angrisani, L.; Daponte, P.; D'Apuzzo, M.; Testa, A.

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 13 Issue: 4 , Oct. 1998

Page(s): 990 -998

Abstract :

The paper presents a measurement method for power quality analysis in electrical power

systems. The method is the evolution of an iterative procedure already set up by the

authors and allows the most relevant disturbances in electrical power systems to be

detected, localized and estimated automatically. The detection of the disturbance and its

duration are attained by a proper application, on the sampled signal, of the continuous

wavelet transform (CWT). Disturbance amplitude is estimated by decomposing, in an

optimized way, the signal in frequency subbands by means of the discrete time wavelet

transform (DTWT). The proposed method is characterized by high rejection to noise,

introduced by both measurement chain and system under test, and it is designed for an

agile disturbance classification. Moreover, it is also conceived for future implementation

both in a real-time measurement equipment and in an off-line analysis tool. In the paper

firstly the theoretical background is reported and briefly discussed. Then, the proposed

method is described in detail. Finally, some case-studies are examined in order to highlight

the performance of the method.

 


A New Criterion Based on the Wavelet Transform for Power Quality Studies and

Waveform Feature Localization

Alexander Domijan, Jr., Ph.D.; Muhammad Shaiq

Abstract :

The characteristics of power system transients seen today present a problem for the

classical Fourier analysis technique because it fails to effectively and accurately localize

and quantify power system effects. This paper looks into the application of the technique

of multi-resolution analysis, based on the wavelet transforms, on voltage waveforms

obtained from a pulse width modulation (PWM) induction motor drive during work on

ASHRAE Research Project 770. The technique is introduced and applied to

mathematically generated waveforms simulating the constant and transient speed

operations of a PWM induction motor. It is then applied to waveforms obtained during

constant speed operation of an actual induction motor.

A new power quality criterion based on the wavelet transform coefficients also is

presented and compared to total harmonic distortion (THD). It is seen that since THD is

based only on the root mean squared (RMS) value of the harmonics present in the

waveforms, it fails to quantify the effects of phases of these harmonics. In addition, all

harmonics are weighted equally when calculating the THD, which leads to loss of

information regarding the individual harmonic number and magnitude. The new method

presents a number that takes into account all the above mentioned effects.

 


A study on the application of wavelet analysis to power quality

Kopparapu, C.; Chandrasekaran, A.

System Theory, 1998. Proceedings of the Thietieth Southeastern Symposium on , 1998

Page(s): 350 -353

Abstract :

The quality of electric power is a major concern, since poor electric power quality results

in malfunctions, instabilities and shorter lifetime of the load. The poor quality of electric

power can be attributed to power line disturbances such as waveshape faults,

overvoltages, capacitor switching transients, harmonic distortion and impulse transients.

For diagnosing power quality problems, the causes of the disturbances should be

understood before appropriate actions can be taken. Monitoring the voltages and currents

is the first requirement in this process. In order to determine the causes, one should be

able to classify the type of disturbances from the monitored data. Several approaches

such as point-to-point comparison of adjacent systems, neural networks and expert

systems have been proposed and implemented in the past. Wavelet analysis is gaining

greater importance for the recognition of disturbances. A study about the performance of

wavelets in detecting and classifying the power quality disturbances is reported in this

paper.

 


Advanced techniques for power quality analysis: a real case study

Poisson, O.; Rioual, P.; Assef, Y.; Bastard, P.

Harmonics and Quality of Power Proceedings, 1998. Proceedings. 8th International

Conference On , Volume: 1 , 1998

Page(s): 376 -381 vol.1

Abstract :

This paper presents a real case study relating to power quality. An industrial customer

power system is investigated in order to analyze misoperation linked with the switching of

harmonic compensation filters. First, overvoltage transients are recorded on the main set

of busbar. Then, the whole power system and the switching of the harmonic filters are

simulated with EMTP. Results are compared with real records. Furthermore, the wavelet

theory is used for the analysis of currents and voltages during switching. A comparison

between simulations and measurements shows the accuracy of the method presented in

the analysis of transient events. Finally, an analytical study of the switching transient has

confirmed results about the main frequencies measured. The whole method (EMTP

simulation and wavelet analysis) is a useful way to investigate industrial customers' power

systems from a power quality point of view.

 


Application of wavelets to classify power system disturbances

Shyh-Jier Huang, Cheng-Tao Hsieh and Ching-Lien Huang

Electric Power Systems Research, Volume 47, Issue 2, 15 October 1998, Pages 87-93

Abstract :

The wavelet transform approach is proposed in this paper to classify various power

system disturbances. On encountering various disturbances, the proposed method is useful

to categorize these shortfalls into different groups so that operators can decide on

strategies to suppress or eliminate them effectively. Different from those Fourier-based

transforms, the wavelet transform approach is more efficient in tracking signal dynamics

as time varies. The method has been tested through the classification of various simulated

disturbances, including voltage sag, voltage swell, momentary interruption, oscillatory

transients and flat-tops. Testing results showed the feasibility and practicality of the

method for the applications.

 


Data reduction of power quality disturbances a wavelet transform approach

Cheng-Tao Hsieh, Shyh-Jier Huang and Ching-Lien Huang

Electric Power Systems Research, Volume 47, Issue 2, 15 October 1998, Pages 79-86

Abstract :

In this paper, application of a wavelet transform approach for the data reduction of power

quality disturbances is proposed. In this approach, we extracted the difference signals

between the original signal and the reference waveform by a subtractor. These extracted

signals were then compressed through wavelet transform methods. In this way, the

amount of data was shown significantly reduced. The data transmission and storage

capability can be also enhanced. We have investigated towards the reduction of various

power quality disturbance data by the proposed method. Test results demonstrated the

effectiveness of the method for the applications.

Fourier transform, wavelets, Prony analysis: tools for harmonics and quality of

power

Meunier, M.; Brouaye, F.

Harmonics and Quality of Power Proceedings, 1998. Proceedings. 8th International

Conference On , Volume: 1 , 1998

Page(s): 71 -76 vol.1

Abstract :

The Fourier transform is a very useful tool for signal studies. Nevertheless there are

many problems in using it; but these problems are very well known and correctly

explained in literature. Wavelets are not usual in power network analysis. However, they

are easy to use and give good results; the edge effects are transient and the computation

time may be reasonable. Prony analysis is only found in a few papers about power

networks. There are few high-performance decomposition programs. The best ones

remain sensitive to noise. They require a long observation time with many samples. But,

when the analysis succeed, this method is the most powerful to explain what happens in a

power network transient. This paper explains as simply as possible the wavelet and the

Prony analyses and shows, qualitatively, their performances and their limits.

artificial neural networks

Perunicic, B.; Mallini, M.; Wang, Z.; Liu, Y.

Harmonics and Quality of Power Proceedings, 1998. Proceedings. 8th International

Conference On , Volume: 1 , 1998

Page(s): 77 -82 vol.1

Abstract :

This article develops a method to detect and classify power quality problems using a novel

combination of digital filtering, wavelets and artificial neural networks. The method is

developed for voltage waveforms of arbitrary sampling rate and number of cycles, using a

large variety of power quality events simulated with MATLAB(R) software, in addition

to sampled waveforms from utility monitoring and EMTP(R) simulations. Power system

monitoring, augmented by the ability to automatically characterize disturbed signals, is a

powerful tool for the power system engineer to use in addressing power quality issues.

This is a step toward the goal of automating the real-time monitoring, detection and

classification of power signals.

Energy Management and Power Delivery, 1998. Proceedings of EMPD '98. 1998

International Conference on , Volume: 1 , 1998

Page(s): 5 -10 vol.1

Abstract :

A novel approach to visualise singular signals in faulted power systems is proposed. The

wavelet transformation technique is applied to help monitor singular signals in the time

dimension. Using the proposed scheme, singular signals in faulted power systems can be

closely observed. The proposed method has been tested for the inspection of singular

signals in faulted DC power systems and of the arc signals in grounding faults. The results

demonstrate the merits of the proposed method for application.

Power System Technology, 1998. Proceedings. POWERCON '98. 1998 International

Conference on , Volume: 2 , 1998

Page(s): 1556 -1559 vol.2

Abstract :

This paper presents a new time-varying harmonics measurement scheme based on the

wavelet transform. By projecting the amplitude of harmonics onto the subspace spanned

by the wavelet and scaling functions, the proposed method transforms the time-varying

amplitude estimation into constant coefficient estimation and achieves the time-varying

harmonics measurement using the least mean squares algorithm (LMS). Meanwhile, the

recursive algorithm (RLS) realizes the online tracking for harmonics.

 


Wavelet representation of voltage flicker

Tongxin Zheng and Elham B. Makram

Electric Power Systems Research, Volume 48, Issue 2, 15 December 1998, Pages

133-140

Abstract :

Voltage flicker can be considered as a voltage magnitude modulated signal with a

frequency ranging from 0.5 to 30 Hz. Wavelet transform is a powerful tool to analyze this

kind of nonstationary, wide-range frequency signal. The wavelet representation of

voltage flicker signal is presented in this paper. The proposed scheme is implemented in

three steps. Firstly, a low-pass demodulation filter is designed to find the magnitude of 60

Hz component. Accordingly, a high degree of accuracy may be achieved and the effect

of the transient, harmonics and white noise may be eliminated. Secondly, a multiresolution

analysis (MRA) scheme that is an orthonormal wavelet transform, can then be applied to

decompose the demodulated signal into several components according to the scales.

Components at high scale can be considered as white noise, while components at the low

scale represent the voltage fluctuation. The smooth version left by the MRA scheme

represents the DC component. Finally, the voltage flicker level can be estimated by the

wavelet coefficients at different scales, which give the time and frequency information.

Numerical examples are also presented in this paper to show the efficiency of the

proposed scheme.

transform

Hong-Tzer Yang; Chiung-Chou Liao; Jian-Fu Chen; Wen-Yeau Chang

Electric Power Engineering, 1999. PowerTech Budapest 99. International Conference on

, 1999

Page(s): 252

Abstract :

This paper proposes a fuzzy Petri-net (FPNs) expert system for classification of the

power quality (PQ) problems. Based on the wavelet transform, the proposed expert

system detects and localizes in time the transients of the signals due to various fault

events. By calculating related indices to the PQ, the FPNs inference-module draws

possible causes of the disturbances as well as its credibility values from its knowledge

base. Attributed to the FPNs structure, the knowledge expression and inference process

can be achieved systematically and graphically. To verify the performance of the

proposed FPNs expert system, a wide variety of disturbance signals simulated by

Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP) package were employed. The development

and the effectiveness of the proposed system as well as the testing results are presented

in this paper.

 


A noise suppression method for improvement of power quality using wavelet

transforms

Kim, C.H.; Park, S.W.; Aggarwal, R.K.; Johns, A.T.

Power Engineering Society Summer Meeting, 1999. IEEE , Volume: 1 , 1999

Page(s): 414 -419 vol.1

Abstract :

Electric power quality has become an important issue in power systems. This is due to the

fact that the usage of power electronic equipment and electronic-based loads, which are

sensitive to power quality disturbances, has increased, and thus normal operations in

industrial and commercial environments are becoming more vulnerable to the electric

power quality disturbances. In order to improve the quality of power, this paper presents a

new noise suppression method to remove the noise associated with various types of

electric power disturbances using the discrete wavelet transform. Power system

disturbances such as those due to voltage sag, voltage swell, outage, waveshape

fault-impulse, harmonic distortion, capacitor energisation transients and arc furnace are

simulated using the well known Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP). The

wavelet transform, which has received considerable interest in many other areas such as

acoustics, communications, etc., is proposed as a fast and effective means of analysing

voltage and current waveforms generated during power system disturbances; this method

hinges upon realising a given noise-ridden signal into a number of other signals which

represent detailed components of the original signal. The decomposition is performed

using multi-resolution signal decomposition techniques. The simulation results clearly

demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of the wavelet transform in both voltage

and current signal noise reduction.

 


A wavelet based power quality monitoring system considering noise effects

Hong-Tzer Yang; Chiung-Chou Liao; Pai-Chuan Yang; Kun-Yuan Huang

Electric Power Engineering, 1999. PowerTech Budapest 99. International Conference on

, 1999

Page(s): 224

Abstract :

Based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), a power quality (PQ) monitoring system

could easily and correctly detect and localize the disturbances in power systems.

However, once the signal under investigation is corrupted by noise, the performance of

the DWT on detecting the disturbance would greatly degrade, due to the difficulty in

giving appropriate thresholds to eliminate the noises. To enhance the capability of the

wavelet-based PQ monitoring system, this paper proposes a denoising approach for the

detection of transient disturbance events in noisy environment. In the proposed denoising

approach, the thresholds to eliminate the noises are adaptively determined according to

the background noises. The abilities of the DWT in detecting and localizing the

disturbances can hence be restored.

 


Application of Morlet wavelets to supervise power system disturbances

Shyh-Jier Huang; Cheng-Tao Hsieh; Ching-Lien Huang

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 14 Issue: 1 , Jan. 1999

Page(s): 235 -243

Abstract :

A wavelet transform approach using a Morlet basis function is proposed to supervise

power system disturbances in this paper. With the time-frequency localization

characteristics embedded in wavelets, the time and frequency information of a waveform

can be presented as a visualized scheme. Different from the fast Fourier transform, the

wavelet transform approach is more efficient in monitoring various disturbances as time

varies. The method has been tested on the detection of various simulated disturbances

including voltage sag, voltage swell, momentary interruption and oscillatory transients and

on the harmonic analysis of the arc furnace from the field test data. Testing results

demonstrated the practicality and advantages of the proposed method for the applications.

filter

Power Engineering Society Summer Meeting, 1999. IEEE , Volume: 1 , 1999

Page(s): 512 -517 vol.1

Abstract :

This paper presents a robust power disturbance detection algorithm. The power line

disturbance is extracted from the steady-state 60 Hz and harmonics background using an

adaptive prediction error filter. In order to detect the disturbance, a stop-and-go CA

CFAR detector algorithm is utilized. The algorithm is demonstrated via simulations, and

actual power transmission line data are utilized to demonstrate its performance and to

compare the performance to wavelet-based detectors.

 


New signal processing tools applied to power quality analysis

Poisson, O.; Rioual, P.; Meunier, M.

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 14 Issue: 2 , April 1999

Page(s): 561 -566

Abstract :

This paper deals with the comparison of new signal processing tools for power quality

analysis. Three new signal processing techniques are considered: the continuous wavelet

transform, the multiresolution analysis and the quadratic transform. Their theoretical

behaviours are investigated using the basic theory of the Fourier transform. Then,

examples of the four most frequent disturbances met in the power system are chosen.

Finally, each kind of electrical disturbance is analyzed with example representing each

tool. A qualitative comparison of results shows the advantages and drawbacks of each

new signal processing technique applied to voltage disturbance analysis. The continuous

wavelet transform appears to be a reliable method for detecting and measuring voltage

sags, flicker and transients in power quality analysis.

Page(s): 1469 -1476

Abstract :

The wavelet transform is introduced as a powerful tool for monitoring power quality

problems generated due to the dynamic performance of industrial plants. The paper

presents a multiresolution signal decomposition technique as an efficient method in

analyzing transient events. The multiresolution signal decomposition has the ability to

disturbances. It can also be used to distinguish among similar disturbances.

 


Power system transient and harmonic studies using wavelet transform

Tongxin Zheng; Makram, E.B.; Girgis, A.A.

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 14 Issue: 4 , Oct. 1999

Page(s): 1461 -1468

Abstract :

This paper presents the application of wavelet transforms in power system transient and

harmonic analyses. Based on the discrete time domain approximation, the system

components such as resistors, inductors and capacitor are modeled respectively in the

discrete wavelet domain for the purpose of transient and steady state analyses. Since the

power system is described by a set of ordinary differential equations, an initial value of the

state variable is considered for the transient analysis, while a periodic condition is applied

to the state variable for the steady state analysis. The wavelet domain impedance is set

up, and the equivalent circuit is thus built for system simulation. This method can be

implemented by any kind of orthogonal wavelet transform. Numerical results from an arc

furnace system are also presented for the transient, harmonic and time-frequency

analyses.

 


Short-time Fourier transforms and Wigner-Ville distributions applied to the

calibration of power frequency harmonic analyzers

Wright, P.S

Instrumentation and Measurement, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 48 Issue: 2 , April

1999

Page(s): 475 -478

Abstract :

This paper is concerned with the measurement of nonsinusoidal waveforms, in particular

the use of waveform transforms in the calibration of power frequency harmonic analyzer

instruments designed to make harmonic measurements under nonstationary conditions.

The suitability of the Fourier transform (FT) for the analysis of nonstationary waveforms

is discussed. A method involving windowing of the waveform data known as the

short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and its application to harmonic amplitude

measurements is considered. Limitations in time and frequency resolution inherent in the

STFT lead to the development and investigation of the Wigner-Ville Distribution for use in

this application. The performance of the various transforms are compared by simulation.

Results using a test signal, typical of a practical signal encountered by harmonic analyzers,

are presented for each transform.

Wavelets for the analysis and compression of power system disturbances

Littler, T.B.; Morrow, D.J.

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 14 Issue: 2 , April 1999

Page(s): 358 -364

Abstract :

Wavelets introduce new classes of basis functions for time-frequency signal analysis and

have properties particularly suited to the transient components and discontinuities evident

in power system disturbances. Wavelet analysis involves representing signals in terms of

simpler, fixed building blocks at different scales and positions. This paper examines the

analysis and subsequent compression properties of the discrete wavelet and wavelet

packet transforms and evaluates both transforms using an actual power system

disturbance from a digital fault recorder. The paper presents comparative compression

results using the wavelet and discrete cosine transforms and examines the application of

wavelet compression in power monitoring to mitigate against data communications

overheads.

 


Wavelet-transform-based algorithm for harmonic analysis of power system

waveforms

Pham, V.L.; Wong, K.P.

Generation, Transmission and Distribution, IEE Proceedings- , Volume: 146 Issue: 3 , May

1999

Page(s): 249 -254

Abstract :

The paper develops an approach, based on the wavelet transform, for the evaluation of

harmonic contents of power system waveforms. The new algorithm can simultaneously

identify all harmonics including integer, noninteger and subharmonics. In the first step of

the approach, the frequency spectrum of the waveform is decomposed into subbands

using discrete wavelet packet transform filter banks. In the second step, a continuous

wavelet transform is applied to nonzero subbands to evaluate the harmonic contents. In

the first step, there is the problem of images due to down samplings and up samplings of

the waveform. A method for alleviating this image problem is developed in the paper.

Methods are developed to accurately quantify harmonics frequency amplitude and phase.

The approach is validated by its application to synthesised waveforms and to power

system waveforms measured in the Western Australia system. It is found to be powerful

and suitable for practical use.

A correlation-based noise suppression algorithm for power quality monitoring

through wavelet transform

Hong-Tzer Yang; Chiung-Chou Liao

Power System Technology, 2000. Proceedings. PowerCon 2000. International

Conference on , Volume: 3 , 2000

Page(s): 1311 -1316 vol.3

Abstract :

The wavelet transform (WT) technique has been proposed for detecting and localizing

transient disturbance in the power systems. The disturbance is detected by comparing the

transformed signal with an empirically-given threshold. However, as the signal under

analysis contains noises, especially the white noise with flat spectrum, the threshold is

difficult to give. Due to the nature of flat spectrum, a filter cannot just get rid of the noise

without removing the significant disturbance signals together. To enhance the WT

technique in processing the noise-riding signals, this paper proposes a noise-suppression

algorithm. The abilities of the WT in detecting and localizing the disturbances can hence

be restored. Finally, this paper employed the actual data obtained from the practical

power systems of Taiwan Power Company (TPC) to test the effectiveness of the

developed de-noising scheme.

Page(s): 364 -369

Abstract :

In this paper, a trapezoid complex wavelet function and associate trapezoid wavelet

transform is presented. This complex wavelet function is possessed of better localizability

and symmetry and so by means of trapezoid wavelet transform, amplitude and phase

information in signal to be processed. By comparison with other wavelet functions,

trapezoid complex wavelet function has even frequency characteristic. Moreover, by

using trapezoid complex wavelet transform in this paper, frequencies of signals in power

systems and in loss of field in generator are tracked. Obviously it is shown trapezoid

complex wavelet transform is an effective method of making frequency tracing in power

systems and is of important sociala and economic fruit.

Advances in Power System Control, Operation and Management, 2000. APSCOM-00.

2000 International Conference on , Volume: 2 , 2000

Page(s): 500 -504

Abstract :

This paper presents the application of wavelet transform-based algorithm to the harmonic

analysis of non-stationary power system waveforms. The waveforms are first

decomposed into-sub-bands of smaller frecuency spectra using modified discrete wavelet

packet transform filter banks. Harmonics trends are obtained from the decomposed

outputs. Continuos wavelet transform is then applied to sections of the decomposed

sub-bands to evaluate the harmonic frequencies, amplitudes and phases. The results of

analysis of the fiefield-test capacitor bank switching waveforms show that the approach is

excellent for harmimonic analysis of non-stationary power system waveform. It gives

both the harmonict rends and the harmonic anamplitude, phase and frequency values.

 


Application of continuous wavelet transform for study of voltage

flicker-generated signals

Shyh-Jier Huang; Cheng-Tao Hsieh

Aerospace and Electronic Systems, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 36 Issue: 3 Part: 1 ,

July 2000

Page(s): 925 -932

Abstract :

An application of continuous wavelet transform (CWT) for the analysis of voltage

flicker-generated signals is proposed. With the time-frequency localization characteristics

embedded in wavelets, the time and frequency information of a waveform can be

integrally presented, thereby enhancing the monitoring of voltage flicker-generated signals

at different time intervals. The Morlet wavelet has been selected as the basis function for

the CWT in the proposed method. The merit of the method lies in that the signal

component at any frequency of interest can be more easily monitored than by discrete

wavelet transform (DWT). The high frequency required in the voltage flicker study can

be also comfortably accomplished. This approach has been applied to investigate various

simulated voltage flicker-generated signals, and inspect the data recorded from the actual

are furnace operation. Test results help solidify the practicality and advantages of the

proposed method for the applications.

 


Characterization of distribution power quality events with Fourier and wavelet

transforms

Santoso, S.; Grady, W.M.; Powers, E.J.; Lamoree, J.; Bhatt, S.C.

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 15 Issue: 1 , Jan. 2000

Page(s): 247 -254

Abstract :

It is the objective of this paper to present unique features that characterize power quality

events and methodologies to extract them from recorded voltage and/or current

waveforms using Fourier and wavelet transforms. Examples of unique features include

peak amplitudes, RMS, frequency, and statistics of wavelet transform coefficients. These

features are derived from well documented theories, power engineers' heuristics gained

through long years of experience, and power quality data collected in recent years.

Converter operation, transformer energization, and capacitor energization (which includes

normal, back-to-back, and re-strike on opening energization), representing three common

power quality events at the distribution level, are presented. These examples provide the

basis for further characterization of other power quality events.

 


Computation of continuous wavelet transform via a new wavelet function for

visualization of power system disturbances

Shyh-Jier Huang; Cheng-Tao Hsieh

Power Engineering Society Summer Meeting, 2000. IEEE , Volume: 2 , 2000

Page(s): 951 -955 vol. 2

Abstract :

In this paper, a computation of continuous wavelet transform via a new wavelet function

is proposed for the visualization of electric power system disturbances. The proposed

wavelet function is derived from the B-spline function. In the employment of the method,

the ratio of the frequency bandwidth to the center frequency depends only on the

parameter settings, which can be easily adjusted for different resolution needs. Because

this new function is a piecewise polynomial, the wavelet transform can be less

computation-intensive. Besides, it is seen compactly supported, the integration process

can be thus faster along with a higher accuracy. In the paper, this proposed wavelet

function is embedded into the wavelet transform scheme, and applied to investigate the

disturbances recorded in a steel plant located at southern Taiwan. Computation results

reveal that the proposed approach can be a useful aid in the monitoring of power system

disturbances. It is also suitable to extend this approach to other industry applications

where electric power quality is crucially required.

Poisson, O.; Rioual, P.; Meunier, M.

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 15 Issue: 3 , July 2000

Page(s): 1039 -1044

Abstract :

This paper deals with the use of a continuous wavelet transform to detect and analyze

voltage sags and transients. A recursive algorithm is used and improved to compute the

time-frequency plane of these electrical disturbances. Characteristics of investigated

signals are measured on a time-frequency plane. A comparison between measured

characteristics and benchmark values detects the presence of disturbances in analyzed

signals and characterizes the type of disturbances. Duration and magnitude of voltage

sags are measured, transients are located in the width of the signal. Furthermore,

meaningful time and frequency components of transients are measured. The whole

method is implemented and tested over a sample representing recorded disturbances.

Detection and measurement results are compared using classical methods.

Harmonics and Quality of Power, 2000. Proceedings. Ninth International Conference on ,

Volume: 3 , 2000

Page(s): 840 -845 vol.3

Abstract :

The number and power of loads that pollute, from an electric point of view, the electric

network are constantly increasing. For this reason, this study aims to define a parameter

to assess, in terms of distortion and unbalance, the quality of an electric network. Taking,

as a starting point, the advantages and limitations of wavelets methods proposed in the

literature, a new index useful for quantifying the load characteristic, is introduced. The

efficiency of this index has been verified by computer simulations to assess the method

applicability to three-wire measurements of instantaneous power theory, in many realistic

situations.

 


Power quality disturbance waveform recognition using waveleet-based neural

classifie. I. Theoretical foundation.

Santoso, S.; Powers, E.J.; Grady, W.M.; Parsons, A.C.

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 15 Issue: 1 , Jan. 2000

Page(s): 222 -228

Abstract :

Existing techniques for recognizing and identifying power quality disturbance waveforms

are primarily based on visual inspection of the waveform. It is the purpose of this paper to

bring to bear recent advances, especially in wavelet transforms, artificial neural

networks, and the mathematical theory of evidence, to the problem of automatic power

quality disturbance waveform recognition. Unlike past attempts to automatically identify

disturbance waveforms where the identification is performed in the time domain using an

individual artificial neural network, the proposed recognition scheme is carried out in the

wavelet domain using a set of multiple neural networks. The outcomes of the networks

are then integrated using decision making schemes such as a simple

voting scheme or the Dempster–Shafer theory of evidence. With such a configuration, the

classifier is capable of providing a degree of belief for the identified disturbance

waveform.

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 15 Issue: 1 , Jan. 2000

Page(s): 229 -235

Abstract :

A wavelet-based neural classifier is constructed and thoroughly tested under various

conditions, The classifier is able to provide a degree of belief for the identified waveform.

The degree of belief gives an indication about the goodness of the decision made. It is

also equipped with an acceptance threshold so that it can reject ambiguous disturbance

waveforms. The classifier is able to achieve the accuracy rate of more than 90% by

rejecting less than 10% of the waveforms as ambiguous.

 


Sub-harmonic state estimation in power systems

Van Long Pham; Kit Po Wong; Watson, N.; Arrillaga, J.

Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting, 2000. IEEE , Volume: 2 , 2000

Page(s): 1168 -1173 vol.2

Abstract :

This paper presents an approach for system-wide sub-harmonic estimation using state

estimation (SE) algorithm together with the wavelet-transform (WT)-based algorithm.

The WT-based algorithm is used to identify sub-harmonics in the measured power system

waveforms. SE is then performed to estimate the sub-harmonic levels for the whole

system based on a few selected measurements. Symbolic observability analysis (OA)

method is applied to determine the system solvability for the SE algorithm from a set of

measurements. Location and type of sub-harmonic sources are then determined from the

estimated results. The approach is illustrated using a real power system and real field-test

waveforms. The results show the accuracy of the method and its potential for analysis of

noninteger harmonics.

 


Time-frequency and time-scale domain analysis of voltage disturbances

Gu, Y.H.; Bollen, M.H.J.

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 15 Issue: 4 , Oct. 2000

Page(s): 1279 -1284

Abstract :

This paper discusses the analysis of voltage disturbance recordings in the time-frequency

domain and in the time-scale domain. The discrete short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is

used for the time-frequency domain; dyadic and binary-tree wavelet filters for the

time-scale domain. The theory is explained with special emphases on the analysis of

voltage disturbance data. Dyadic wavelet filters are not suitable for the harmonic analysis

of disturbance data. Filter center frequencies and bandwidths are inflexible, and the

results do not give easy insight in the time behavior of the harmonics. On the other hand,

band-pass filter outputs from discrete STFT are well associated with harmonics and are

thus more useful for power system analysis. With a properly chosen window size, the

discrete STFT is also able to detect and analyze transients in a voltage disturbance.

Overall, the STFT is more suitable than wavelet filters for the analysis of power system

voltage disturbance data.

Wavelet based on-line disturbance detection for power quality applications

Karimi, M.; Mokhtari, H.; Iravani, M.R.

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 15 Issue: 4 , Oct. 2000

Page(s): 1212 -1220

Abstract :

This paper introduces a new online voltage disturbance detection approach based on the

wavelet transform. The proposed approach: (1) identifies voltage disturbances; and (2)

discriminates the type of event which has resulted in the voltage disturbance, e.g. either a

fault or a capacitor-switching incident. The proposed approach is: (1) significantly faster;

and (2) more precise in discriminating the type of transient event than conventional

voltage-based disturbance detection approaches. The feasibility of the proposed

disturbance detection approach is demonstrated based on digital time-domain simulation of

a power distribution system using the PSCAD/EMTDC software package.

Page(s): 511 -516

Abstract :

Power quality embraces problems caused by harmonis, over or under-voltages, or supply

discontinuities. Harmonics are caused for all non-linear loads. In order to fully understand

the problems, and effective means of identifying sources of power harmonics is

important. In this paper we make use of new developments in wavelet so that each type

of current waveform polluted with power harmonics can well be represented by a

normalised energy vector consisting of five elements. Furthermore, a mixture of

harmonics load can also be represented byby a corresponding vector. This paper

describes the mathematics and algorithms for arriving at ththe vectors, forming a s a

strong foundation for real-time harmonics signature recognition, in particular, useful to the

re-structuring of the whole electric power industry. The system performs exceptionally

well with the aid of an artificial neural network.

Page(s): 732 -738 vol.2

Abstract :

Fourier transform-based algorithms have been popular for voltage flicker analysis;

however, their accuracy is unfavorably influenced by the leakage effect. This paper

presents a wavelet-based algorithm for voltage flicker analysis. The algorithm can

accurately extract the voltage flicker components by the direct demodulation of the

voltage signal. The performance characteristics of the algorithm are evaluated with

examples of appropriate simulated and field data. The results illustrate the proposed

algorithm is free of leakage effect problems.

A de-noising scheme for enhancing wavelet-based power quality monitoring

Hong-Tzer Yang; Chiung-Chou Liao

Power Delivery, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 16 Issue: 3 , July 2001

Page(s): 353 -360

Abstract :

By means of the wavelet transform (WT), a power quality (PQ) monitoring system could

easily and correctly detect and localize the disturbances in the power systems. However,

the signal under investigation is often corrupted by noises, especially the ones with

overlapping high-frequency spectrum of the transient signals. The performance of the WT

in detecting the disturbance would be greatly degraded, due to the difficulty of

distinguishing the noises and the disturbances. To enhance the capability of the WT-based

PQ monitoring system, this paper proposes a de-noising approach to detection of

transient disturbances in a noisy environment. In the proposed de-noising approach, a

threshold of eliminating the influences of noises is determined adaptively according to the

background noises. The abilities of the WT in detecting and localizing the disturbances

can hence be restored. To test the effectiveness of the developed de-noising scheme,

employed were diverse data obtained from the EMTP/ATP programs for the main

transient disturbances in the power systems as well as from actual field tests. Using the

approach proposed in this paper, remarkable efficiency of monitoring the PQ problems

and high tolerance to the noises are approved.

power system waveform harmonic analysis

Pham, V.L.; Wong, K.P.

Generation, Transmission and Distribution, IEE Proceedings- , Volume: 148 Issue: 2 ,

March 2001

Page(s): 117 -122

Abstract :

A method is presented for eliminating the effect of imperfect frequency response of the

filters in wavelet transform (WT) filter banks, and a WT-based algorithm for harmonic

analysis of nonstationary power system waveforms. The method recovers the signal

magnitude, which is distorted due to the imperfect response of filters. The WT-based

algorithm is then developed. The algorithm is incorporated with the above antidistortion

method to give accurate harmonic magnitudes. The power and practicality of the

algorithm are illustrated through its application for the diagnosis of a motor-starting

problem, which occurred in the Western Australia power system.

Proposed wavelet-neurofuzzy combined system for power quality violations

detection and diagnosis

Elmitwally, A.; Farghal, S.; Kandil, M.; Abdelkader, S.; Elkateb, M.

Generation, Transmission and Distribution, IEE Proceedings- , Volume: 148 Issue: 1 , Jan.

2001

Page(s): 15 -20

Abstract :

A system for the identification of power quality violations is proposed. It is a two-stage

system that employs the potentials of the wavelet transform and the adaptive neurofuzzy

networks. For the first stage, the wavelet multiresolution signal analysis is exploited to

denoise and then decompose the monitored signals of the power quality events to extract

its detailed information. A new optimal feature-vector is suggested and adopted in

learning the neurofuzzy classifier. Thus, the amount of needed training data is extensively

reduced. A modified organisation map of the neurofuzzy classifier has significantly

improved the diagnosis efficiency. Simulation results confirm the aptness and the

capability of the proposed system in power quality violations detection and automatic

diagnosis.

economical impacts on both utilities and costumers. The current harmonics are the most

common power quality problem, and the voltage sag is the most severe one. This paper

Visualizing time-varying power system harmonics using a Morlet wavelet

transform approach

Shyh-Jier Huang and Cheng-Tao Hsieh

Electric Power Systems Research, Volume 58, Issue 2, 21 June 2001, Pages 81-88

Abstract :

In this paper, a Morlet wavelet transform approach for the study of time-varying power

system harmonics is proposed. By this method, because the time¯frequency localization

characteristics are embedded in wavelets, the time and frequency information of a

waveform can be simultaneously presented as a visualized scheme. Different from the

fast Fourier transform, the wavelet transform approach is more efficient in monitoring the

signals of interest when time varies. The proposed method has been applied to visualize

inrush current harmonics of transformers and to investigate arc-furnace-generated

signals. From the test results, the merits of the proposed method have been demonstrated

for applications.

 


Wavelet and neural structure: a new tool for diagnostic of power system

disturbances

Borras, D.; Castilla, M.; Moreno, N.; Montano, J.C.

Industry Applications, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 37 Issue: 1 , Jan.-Feb. 2001

Page(s): 184 -190

Abstract :

The Fourier transform can be used for the analysis of nonstationary signals, but the

Fourier spectrum does not provide any time-domain information about the signal. When

the time localization of the spectral components is needed, a wavelet transform giving the

time-frequency representation of the signal must be used. In this paper, using wavelet

analysis and neural systems as a new tool for the analysis of power system disturbances,

disturbances are automatically detected, compacted and classified. An example showing

the potential of these techniques for diagnosis of actual power system disturbances is

presented.

Abstract :

This paper evaluates performance of a wavelet-based, on-line (real-time) voltage

detection scheme for power quality applications. The objectives are: 1) to demonstrate

suitability of the proposed method in detecting faults/disturbances in a power system and
