Event signal characterization for disturbance interpretation in power grid

This paper presents the signal processing approach to detect and characterize the physical events that occur in power system using PMUs signals. A small window is applied so that the extracted spectral features belong to a stationary signal. This is based on applying empirical mode decomposition, followed by square root of spectral kurtosis (SRSK) for computation of statistical indices to indicate the event occurrence. Subsequently, features from these events are extracted using mel frequency cepstral coefficients on SRSK. © 2018 IEEE. Personal use of this material is permitted.
