Abstract

ABSTRACT: To improve power quality (PQ), detecting the particular type of disturbance is the foremost thing before mitigation. So monitoring is needed to detect the PQ disturbance that occurs in a short duration of time. Classification of real-time PQ disturbances under noisy environment is investigated in this method by selecting an appropriate signal processing tool called fusion of time domain descriptors (FTDD) at the feature extraction stage. It's a method of extracting power spectrum characteristics of various PQ disturbances. Few advantages like algorithmic simplicity and local time-based unique features makes the FTDD algorithm ahead of other techniques. PQ events like voltage sag, voltage swell, interruption, healthy, transient and harmonics mixed with different noise conditions are analysed. multiclass support vector machine and Naïves Bayes (NB) classifiers are applied to analyse the performance of the proposed method. As a result, NB classifier performs better in noiseless signal with 99.66%, wherein noise added signals both NB and SVM are showing better accuracy at different signal to noise ratios. Finally, Arduino controller-based hardware tool involved in the acquisition of real-time signals shows how our proposed system is applicable for industries that make detection simple.
