The normal operation fault of the power system is usually caused by a short-circuit fault. At this time, the system changes drastically from one state to another, accompanied by complex transient phenomena. Therefore, the measured signal contains a large number of transient components. How to effectively analyze such signals, extract their characteristics, and develop new protection devices has always been an important research field in power system protection technology. The protection of the power system is to achieve the purpose of correct action and elimination of faults by quickly detecting and locating faults. At present, the power signal analysis tools used in microcomputer protection include FFT, Kalman filter, and finite impulse response filter. They are efficient for the analysis of stationary signals, but have their limitations in analyzing nonstationary signals; especially it is difficult to identify nonlinear faults, such as the detection of high-impedance nonlinear short-circuit faults, which is a long-term unsolved problem in power systems. Based on wavelet transform, this paper selects complex-valued wavelet algorithm, analyzes a real-time recursive wavelet algorithm, and deduces the realization process of the algorithm in detail. The algorithm greatly reduces the computational complexity of the existing two-way recursive algorithm, can be used for real-time detection of fault signals in various fields of power system, and can be extended to realize other fast recursive algorithms of wavelet functions. Based on the sensitivity of complex-valued wavelet transform phase information to singularity, a method for real-time monitoring of power system fault mutation signals using the phase information of complex-valued wavelet fast recursion algorithm to assist amplitude information is proposed. The validity and practicability of this complex-valued wavelet and its real-time recursive algorithm for fault detection are demonstrated by an example.
