1. INTRODUCTION

Now a day’s power quality has become a main problem in the electric power system. The reason for the

poor quality of electric power is caused by the power line

disturbances such as sag, swell, interruption, harmonics,

sag with harmonics, swell with harmonics, flicker and

notches. The various types of power quality disturbances

were detected and classified using wavelet transform

analysis as illustrated in [1].The time and frequency of

multi resolution wavelet has been presented in [2] to

analyze the electromagnetic power system transients.

Another approach of wavelets to identify the

various power system transient signals such as capacitor

switching, lighting impulse, etc has been discussed in [3].

Comparison of various signal processing techniques such

as Fourier transform, multi resolution analysis and the

continuous wavelet transform forthe analysis of power

quality disturbanceshas been explained in [4]. The

Fourier and wavelet transform based fuzzy expert system

for the detection and classification of PQ disturbances has

been demonstrated in [5]. The wavelet based neural

classifier has been discussed in [6] for the recognition of

PQ disturbance waveform. The wavelet multi resolution

analysishas been used for the online classification of

power quality events along with pattern classifier in [7].

Discrete wavelet transform along with neural network for

PQ disturbance classification has been explained [8]. As

wavelet transforms cannot be applied for the analysis of

non stationary signals, S-transforms were implemented

due to their excellent frequency resolution characteristics.

Application of s-transform for power quality analysis has

been discussed in [9] and a fuzzy logic based pattern

recognition system along with multi resolution S-

transform for power quality event classification has been

discussed in [10].

S-transform based neural network for the

detection and classification of PQ disturbance signal has

been implemented in [11]. A combination of wavelet

transform along with Kalman filter has been presented in

[12] for the detection and analysis of voltage event in

power system. Discrete wavelet transform and wavelet

coefficients based neural network classifier has been

demonstrated for the classification of PQ disturbances in

[13]. The S-transform and modular neural network based

power quality classifier has been presented in [14] and

this combines the frequency resolution characteristics of

S transform with the pattern recognizing ability of a

neural network. A hybrid method of adaptive filtering and

discrete wavelet transform for detection and analysis of

PQ events in [15]. The classification of the various types

of power quality disturbances based on S-transform and

Probabilistic neural network has been discussed in [16].

Wavelet transform support vector machines

based power quality disturbance classifier is presented in

[17] where the analysis takes into account the different

noise conditions also. Hilbert transform has been used for

the detection and classification of power quality events

along with RBF network in [18]. A combination of

kalman filter and fuzzy expert system for the

characterization of power quality disturbances has been

illustrated in [19]. The dual neural network as ADALINE

and FFNN has been implemented for the classification of

single and combined form power quality disturbance in

[20].A Hilbert transform and MLP neural network based

power quality analyzer in which features are extracted

using Hilbert transform and disturbances are identified

and classified using an MLP based neural network is

presented in this paper.

2. PROPOSED METHOD

The classification technique proposed has two

stages namely a feature extraction stage and a

classification stage. In the feature extraction stage,

Hilbert transform is used for extracting features such as

amplitude, slope and standard deviation. The

classification stage consists of a MLP based neural

network with four hidden layers. Disturbance waveforms

were generated using Matlab simulink.

2.1 Feature extraction stage using Hilbert transform

The Hilbert Transform is used to generate an

analytical signal obtained by convolving the real signal

with the function as shown below:

��� = � �� (1)

��� = � ∫ � ��−�∞−∞ � (2)

��� = −� �� � � � (3)

The output of the Hilbert transform is 90 phase

shift of the original signal� , a complex signal. It is

defined as

�� = � + ��� (4)

�� = � �� � (5)

The analytical signal has the information about

amplitude as well phase of the signal. It is clear that

� = √� + ��� (6)

� = ��− ��� �� � (7)

2.2 Multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network

A multilayer perceptron neural network is a

feed-forward artificial neural network that has an input

layer, output layer and one or more hidden layers. A MLP

based neural network consists of multiple layers of nodes

in which each layer connected to the next one fully in a

directed graph. Except for the input nodes, each node is a

neuron with a nonlinear activation function. MLP based

neural network utilizes a supervised learning technique

called back propagation for training the network. MLP

based neural network architecture diagram is shown as in

the Figure-1. The training parameters of the MLP used in

this work are shown in Table-1.

Back propagation learning algorithm

BP has two phases:

Forward pass phase: Calculate the ‘functional signal’ and feed forward propagation of input pattern signals through network

Backward pass phase: Calculate the ‘error signal’ and propagates the error backwards through network

starting at output units (the difference between actual

and desired output values).

The back-propagation network has an input

layer, an output layer, and atleast one hidden layer. There

is no limit on the number of hidden layers but typically

there is just one or two. But in some case a minimum

requirement of four layers (three hidden layers plus an

output layer) are used to solve complex problems. Each

layer is fully connected to the succeeding layer.

Recall is the process of setting input data into a

trained network and receiving the answer. Back-

propagation is not used during recall, but only when the

network is learning a training set.

3. CLASSIFICATION STAGE

In this stage, Hilbert Transform extracted input

features such as standard deviation, peak value, variances.

The extracted input features are applied to the multi-layer

perception based neural network in order to classify the

disturbances. MLP networks are very useful for the

classification of those input signals.

Quality disturbances is shown in below. It has three

different blocks.

4. SIMULATION AND TEST RESULTS

Training and Test data were generated using

Matlab simulink for various classes of disturbances .The

signals closer to real situation can be simulated and

different signals belonging to same class can be generated

with ease so that the generalization ability of neural

network based classifier could be improved. The single

line diagram for the test system and the Matlab

simulation block diagram are shown in Figure-3 and

Figure-4.

Figure-3. Single line diagram of test system model.

Figure-4. Matlab simulation block diagram for the test system model.

Nine classes of different PQ disturbances,

namely pure sine (normal), sag, swell, outage, harmonics,

sag with harmonic, swell with harmonic, notch and

flicker were considered. Total size of the training data set

is 3*900, where 3 represents the number of features

extracted for each type of disturbance and 900 represents

the total number of samples at the rate of 100 samples for

each one of the 9 disturbances. The PQ disturbance

signals generated using the Matlab simulink and the

training performance of neural network with 100 epochs

are shown in figures 5(a) to 14(c) for various classes of

disturbance.

The following case studies are presented to

highlight the suitability of the application of the proposed

method.

Swell with harmonics

This type of disturbance is caused by the

presence of nonlinear load and a voltage swell in the

system for the duration of 0.4 to 0.8 cycles. The

waveform contains harmonic distortion with swell event

as shown in the Figure-12(a). Figures 12(b) to 12(e)

Flicker

This type of disturbance type is caused by the

continuous and rapid variation of the system load.

Theflicker disturbance is generated by disconnecting the

heavy load in the continuous nature at regular interval

and the waveform of the flicker is shown in the Figure-

Notch

This is a disturbance of the nominal power

voltage waveform lasting for less than half a cycle. The

disturbance is initially of opposite polarity and hence it is

to be subtracted from the waveform as shown in the

extraction outputs of Hilbert transform.

4. CONCLUSIONS

The paper has presented a new method for

detection and classification of power quality disturbances

in the electric power systems. The method combines the

Hilbert transform and MLP based neural network. The

disturbance waveforms were generated through Matlab

simlink and features such as mean, peak value and

standard deviation were extracted through Hilbert

transform and an MLP based neural network has been

applied for classifying the disturbances. The method

enables the accurate classification of all nine types of PQ

disturbances and it is well suitable for real world

applications were the classifier is applied over the data

captured in field. MLP neural network has the wide range

of skills that it can be trained for any input combination

and its application is particularly suitable for

classification of disturbances of varying nature.
