Abstract
This study presents a hybrid fuzzy decision-maker (FDM) and un-decimated wavelet transform (UWT)-based method for detecting power quality disturbances (PQDs) in a developed hydrogen and solar energy-powered electric vehicle (EV) charge station. The proposed adaptive FDM&UWT-based hybrid method eliminated the lack of performance of threshold-based signal analysis methods in noise-containing signals and it is implemented for a reliable PQD detection and integration in a developed microgrid. Also, the proposed method has eliminated the need for a processing-intensive filtering process to reduce noise from the signal. With this adaptive approach, detection errors in boundary conditions in threshold value methods are avoided and at the same time, cost and computational burden are minimized by using only the peak values in the detail coefficients of the voltage signal. The mean test accuracy is 96.13% for the FDM method using pyramidal UWT in noise-free conditions. Besides, the pyramidal UWT-FDM has a mean classification accuracy of 94.96% under 20–40 dB high-level noise conditions. The effectiveness of the UWT-FDM method is also tested using an experimental setup. The mean test accuracy for experimental data is 96.66%.
