Application of Power Quality Disturbance Location Based on MUDW

Abstract

It is the random and irregular and variable properties of disturbance signal in the detection of power quality, there is lack of mature methods for detection and location of PQ disturbances. An improved morphological undecimated wavelet scheme was presented in this paper and applied to the detection of power quality disturbance. The improved MUDW scheme, which meets signal reconstruction conditions, contains broad open-close or close-open filter and morphological gradient which detect mutations on the top and bottom edges of signal. It used MATLB to detect transient or steady state with single or composite disturbance signals and made comparison with the existing form of sampling wavelet. The result shows that the new MUDW scheme can recognize and detect the signal and has a good anti-noise performance.
