Development of technology increased the attention of the research community on power quality (PQ) disturbance classification problem. This paper presents wavelet based effective feature extraction method and support vector machines (SVM) for PQ disturbance classification problem. Two common kinds of power quality disturbances, voltage sag and swell, are considered in this paper. After multi-resolution signal decomposition of PQ disturbances, feature vector can be obtained. Multi-resolution analysis (MRA) technique of discrete wavelet technique (DWT) and Parseval's theorem are employed to extract the energy distribution features of sag and swell signals. SVM are used to classify these feature vectors of PQ disturbances. Performance of two kinds of method used in SVM is compared aspect of training time and training error.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
