Simulation and FPGA Implementation of Transient Power Quality Disturbance Detection

Abstract

Abstract With the access to new energy in the smart grids and the massive use of nonlinear and unbalanced large loads, the problem of power quality becomes more and more serious. At present, the transient power quality disturbance problem has been paid more attention to. The research on transient power quality is relatively late, and various detection methods and technologies are not mature. It is necessary to use more efficient methods to detect and identify transient power quality to improve the safety of electricity use. This paper proposes to detect transient power quality disturbance by wavelet transform. In this paper, the original signal modelling of five kinds of power quality problems such as voltage sag and voltage swell. The 9/7 wavelet lifting coefficient is optimized in this paper and is carried out on the MATLAB software platform to improve the processing speed of the algorithm and realize parallel processing. The simulation results show that the improved lifting wavelet processing can effectively detect the transient power quality disturbance.
