Abstract
AbstractElectric power utilities must ensure a consistent and undisturbed supply of power, with the voltage levels adhering to specified ranges. Any deviation from these supply specifications can lead to malfunctions in equipment. Monitoring the quality of supplied power is crucial to minimize the impact of fluctuations in voltage. Variations in voltage or current from their ideal values are referred to as "power quality (PQ) disturbances," highlighting the need for vigilant monitoring and management. Signal processing methods are widely used for power system applications which include understanding of voltage disturbance signals and used for retrieval of signal information from the signals Different signal processing methods are used for extracting information about a signal. The method of Fourier analysis involves application of Fourier transform giving frequency information. The method of Short-Time Fourier analysis involves application of Short-Time Fourier transform (STFT) giving time–frequency information. The method of continuous wavelet analysis involves application of Continuous Wavelet transform (CWT) giving signal information in terms of scale and time where frequency is inversely related to scale. The method of discrete wavelet analysis involves application of Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) giving signal information in terms of approximations and details where approximations and details are low and high frequency representation of original signal. In this paper, an attempt is made to perceive power quality disturbances in MATLAB using Fourier, Short-Time Fourier, Continuous Wavelet and Discrete Wavelet Transforms. Proper understanding of the signals can be possible by transforming the signals into different domains. An emphasis on application of signal processing techniques can be laid for power quality studies. The paper compares the results of each transform using MATLAB-based visualizations. The discussion covers the advantages and disadvantages of each technique, providing valuable insights into the interpretation of power quality disturbances. As the paper delves into the complexities of each method, it takes the reader on a journey of signal processing complexities, culminating in a nuanced understanding of power quality disturbances and their representations across various domains. The outcomes of this research, elucidated through energy values, 3D plots, and comparative analyses, contribute to a comprehensive understanding of power quality disturbances. The findings not only traverse theoretical domains but also find practical utility in real-world scenarios.
