Identification of voltage and current disturbances is an important task in power system monitoring and protection. In this paper, the application of two-dimensional wavelet transform for characterization of a wide variety range of power quality disturbances is discussed, and a new algorithm, based on image processing techniques is proposed for this purpose. A matrix is formed based on a specified number of cycles in such a way that the samples of voltage signal in each cycle form one row of that matrix. This matrix can be regarded as a two dimensional image. A two-dimensional wavelet transform is used to decompose the image into approximation and details, which contain low frequency and high frequency components along the rows and columns, respectively. Different disturbances result into different special patterns in detail images. By processing the detail images, specific features are defined which can suitably discriminate various types of disturbances. Combination of the feature generation algorithm and a classifier system leads to a smart system for classification of wide variety range of disturbances.
