Description
Summary:This paper discusses the implementation of time-frequency analysis techniques to analyze power quality disturbances. The approached methods are spectrogram and Gabor transform algorithms. Signal parameters such as time marginal and frequency marginal are extracted from the time-frequency distributions. The parameters are analyzed in terms of correctness measurement of root mean square (RMS), total harmonic distortion (THD), total waveform distortion (TWD) and total interharmonic distortion (TnHD) values. Power quality events that are analyzed are swell, sag, interruption, harmonic, interharmonic, transient, notching and normal voltage. The results show that Gabor transform provides better performance in terms of correctness of parameters measurement, window length, frequency resolution and memory size.
