A New Method to Detect Voltage Sag Based on Wavelet Energy Entropy

Abstract

Voltage sags was a common power system disturbance, usually associated with power system faults. Nowadays, there were more and more methods to detect voltage sag, involving with RMS, peak voltage detect, FFT. Owing to their defections, they were too slow when they came to being applied to detect voltages sags. This paper presents a method based on wavelet energy entropy detection voltage sags, this method can detect the drop time quickly and sensitively. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed method, a numerical example simulation has been done based on matlab / simulink , results show that there is a significant effect.

Preprocessing of Coefficients for Reusable Continuous Wavelet Transform

“…The paper [4] presents a method based on wavelet detection of voltage sags. This method can detect the drop time quicker and more sensitively than FFT.…”
