Power quality monitoring and evaluation in power systems under non‐stationary conditions using wavelet packet transform

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is twofold: (i) to propose a methodology to accurately evaluate power quality indices, and (ii) to highlight the importance of power quality monitoring services at different voltage levels of three-phase power systems. The proposed methodology is based on wavelet packet transform (WPT) and is able to perform power quality analysis in threephase power systems operating under stationary and non-stationary conditions, in the presence of both harmonics and unbalance. Several test cases are examined: synthetic voltage and current waveforms including noise, simulated test systems, a modified IEEE 13-bus test feeder, as well as experimental tests. The obtained results in all cases demonstrate the accuracy and the effectiveness of the proposed WPT method and its superiority over fast Fourier transform to accurately evaluate power quality indices in case of non-stationary disturbances.

Metodología de diagnóstico de perturbaciones en la calidad de potencia usando la Transformada S

“…Sin embargo, la exactitud del algoritmo DFT es afectada por las "fugas" producidas por las variaciones del nivel en los diferentes eventos que afectan la calidad de energía. La Transformada Wavelet (WT) ha sido introducida como una poderosa herramienta para la detección armónica [7]. La principal desventaja de la WT es su voluminoso procesado, el cual se convierte en un retraso.…”
