Abstract
This work proposes a novel classifier to recognize multiple disturbances for electric signals of power systems. The proposed classifier consists of a series of pipeline-based processing components, including amplitude estimator, transient disturbance detector, transient impulsive detector, wavelet transform and a brand-new neural network for recognizing multiple disturbances in a power quality (PQ) event. Most of the previously proposed methods usually treated a PQ event as a single disturbance at a time. In practice, however, a PQ event often consists of various types of disturbances at the same time. Therefore, the performances of those methods might be limited in real power systems. This work considers the PQ event as a combination of several disturbances, including steady-state and transient disturbances, which is more analogous to the real status of a power system. Six types of commonly encountered power quality disturbances are considered for training and testing the proposed classifier. The proposed classifier has been tested on electric signals that contain single disturbance or several disturbances at a time. Experimental results indicate that the proposed PQ disturbance classification algorithm can achieve a high accuracy of more than 97% in various complex testing cases.
