This paper presents a new recognition and classification method for power quality (PQ) disturbances on the basis of pattern linguistic values. This method solves the difficulty of recognizing disturbances rapidly and accurately by using fuzzy logic. This method uses classification disturbance patterns to define the linguistic values of fuzzy input variables and used the input variables of corresponding disturbance pattern to set membership functions. This method also sets the fuzzy rules by analyzing the distribution regularities of the input variable values. One characteristic of this method is that the linguistic values of fuzzy input variables and the setting of membership functions are not only related to the input variables but also to the character of classification disturbance and the classification results. Furthermore, the number of fuzzy rules is equal to the number of disturbance patterns. By using this method for disturbance classification, the membership function and design of fuzzy rules are directly related to the objective of classification, thus effectively reducing the complexity of the design process and yielding accurate classification results. The classification results of the simulation and measured data verify the feasibility and effectiveness of this method.

The objective of this paper is to present a new feature-vector extraction method for the automatic detection and classification of power quality(PQ) disturbances, where FIT, DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform), and Fisher's criterion are utilized to extract an appropriate feature vector. In particular, the proposed classifier consists of three parts: i.e., (i) automatic detection of PQ disturbances, where the wavelet transform and signal power estimation method are utilized to detect each disturbance, (ii) feature vector extraction from the detected disturbance, and (iii) automatic classification, where Multi-Layer Perceptron(MLP) is used to classify each disturbance from the corresponding extracted feature vector. To demonstrate the performance and applicability of the proposed classification algorithm, some test results obtained by analyzing 10-class power quality disturbances are also provided.

In this paper, an efficient approach to classification of transient and harmonic disturbances in power systems is proposed. First, the Stop-and-Go CA CFAR Detector is utilized to detect a disturbance from the power signals which are mixed with other disturbances and noise. Then, (i) Wigner Distribution, SVD(Singular Value Decomposition) and Fisher´s Criterion (ii) DWT and Fisher´s Criterion, are applied to extract an efficient feature vector. For the classification procedure, a combined neural network classifier is proposed to classify each corresponding disturbance class. Finally, the 10 class data simulated by Matlab power system blockset are used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed classification system.

This paper presents a wavelet and neural network based technology for the monitoring and classification of various types of power quality (PQ) disturbances. Simultaneous and automatic detection and classification of PQ transients, is recommended, however these processes have not been thoroughly investigated so far. In this paper, the hardware and software of a power quality data acquisition system (PQDAS) is described. In this system, an auto-classifying system combines the properties of the wavelet transform with the advantages of a neural network. Additionally, to improve recognition rate, extraction technology is considered.

In this paper a systematic approach to automatic classificationi of power system harmonic disturbances is proposed where the proposed approach consists of the following three steps:(i) detecting and localizing each harmonic disturbance by applying discrete wavelet transform(DWT) (ii) extracting an efficient feature vector from each detected disturbance waveform by utilizing FFT and principal component analysis (PCA) along with Fisher's criterion and (iii) classifying the corresponding type of each harmonic disturbance by recognizing the pattern of each feature vector. To demonstrate the performance and applicability of the proposed classification procedure some simulation results obtained by analyzing 8-class power system harmonic disturbances being generated with Matlab power system blockset are also provided.

A hybrid kernel function of support vector machine is proposed to improve the classification performance of power quality disturbances. The kernel function mathematical model of support vector machine directly affects the classification performance. Different types of kernel functions have different generalization ability and learning ability. The single kernel function cannot have better ability both in learning and generalization. To overcome this problem, we propose a hybrid kernel function that is composed of two single kernel functions to improve both the ability in generation and learning. In simulations, we respectively used the single and multiple power quality disturbances to test classification performance of support vector machine algorithm with the proposed hybrid kernel function. Compared with other support vector machine algorithms, the improved support vector machine algorithm has better performance for the classification of power quality signals with single and multiple disturbances.

In this paper, an improved one-against-one support vector machine algorithm is used to classify multiple power quality disturbances. To solve the problem of parameter selection, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to optimize the parameters of the support vector machine. By proposing a new inertia weight expression, the particle swarm optimization algorithm can effectively conduct a global search at the outset and effectively search locally later in a study, which improves the overall classification accuracy. The experimental results show that the improved particle swarm optimization method is more accurate than a grid search algorithm optimization and other improved particle swarm optimizations with regard to its classification of multiple power quality disturbances. Furthermore, the number of support vectors is reduced.

This work investigates the performance of fully complex- valued radial basis function network(FC-RBF) and complex extreme learning machine (CELM) based neural approaches for classification of power quality disturbances. This work engages the use of S-Transform to extract the features relating to single and combined power quality disturbances. The performance of the classifiers are compared with their real valued counterparts namely extreme learning machine(ELM) and support vector machine(SVM) in terms of convergence and classification ability. The results signify the suitability of complex valued classifiers for power quality disturbance classification.
