The number of waveforms monitored in power systems is increasing rapidly. This creates a demand for computational tools that aid in the analysis of the phenomena and also that allow efficient transmission and storage of the information acquired. In this context, signal processing techniques play a fundamental role. This work is a tutorial reviewing the principles and applications of atomic signal modeling of electric disturbance signals. The disturbance signal is modeled using a linear combination of damped sinusoidal components which are closely related to the phenomena typically observed in power systems. The signal model obtained is then employed for disturbance signal denoising, filtering of "DC components," and compression.
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.
