Classification of Power Quality Disturbance Based on Multiscale Singular Spectral Analysis and Multi Resolution Wavelet Transforms

Abstract

In real power system, Power quality disturbances (PQDs) have become major challenge due to the introduction of renewable energy resources and embedded power systems. In this research, two novel feature extraction methods multi resolution analysis wavelet transform (MRA-WT) and Multiscale singular spectral analysis (MSSA) have been analysed with convolution neural network classifier for the classification of PQDs. Statistical parameters are also applied for the optimal feature selection. MSSA is time-series tool and MRA-WT are applied for feature extraction and 1-dimensional CNN (1-DCNN) is used to classify the single and multiple PQDs. The architecture is built with forward propagation and back propagation is utilized to tune the data. Finally, the results of two selected feature extraction techniques are compared with classification accuracy. The simulation based results explained that MSSA with 1-DCNN has significantly higher classification accuracy under different noisy conditions.
