Abstract

Intelligent classification of multiple power quality disturbances (PQDs) is a top priority in pollution control of the power grid. However, the large-scale application of renewable energy introduces lots of nonlinear and impact loads, which makes the PQDs more complex and challenges the effectiveness of conventional detection frameworks. In this paper, a novel framework based on optimized Kaiser window-based S-transform (OKST) and multiple fusion convolutional neural network (MFCNN) is proposed to identify multiple complex PQDs. First, the OKST is used for the time-frequency positioning of PQDs, where an improved control function is proposed to meet different detection requirements of time-frequency. Additionally, the parameters of the control function are adjusted automatically using maximum energy concentration. Then, the MFCNN based on residual networks (ResNets) is further proposed to extract and classify these time-frequency features automatically. In MFCNN, feature information is fused using different convolution kernels at a 2-dimensional level, which can effectively reduce information loss and improve classification performance. The network model is set up using the Pytorch platform, and the dataset containing 28 types of PQDs and 2 types of nonlinearly mixed PQDs is built to test our framework. The result shows that the proposed OKST-MFCNN obtains an average accuracy of 99.38% under the 20 dB noise level, which is more accurate and robust than some advanced PQDs detection frameworks. Moreover, the accuracy of 97.94% is achieved with satisfactory real-time performance in hardware platform experiments, proving its superior identification performance for complex PQDs.
