Sparse Linear Models applied to Power Quality Disturbance Classification
Power quality (PQ) analysis describes the non-pure electric signals that are
usually present in electric power systems. The automatic recognition of PQ
disturbances can be seen as a pattern recognition problem, in which different
types of waveform distortion are differentiated based on their features.
Similar to other quasi-stationary signals, PQ disturbances can be decomposed
into time-frequency dependent components by using time-frequency or time-scale
transforms, also known as dictionaries. These dictionaries are used in the
feature extraction step in pattern recognition systems. Short-time Fourier,
Wavelets and Stockwell transforms are some of the most common dictionaries used
in the PQ community, aiming to achieve a better signal representation. To the
best of our knowledge, previous works about PQ disturbance classification have
been restricted to the use of one among several available dictionaries. Taking
advantage of the theory behind sparse linear models (SLM), we introduce a
sparse method for PQ representation, starting from overcomplete dictionaries.
In particular, we apply Group Lasso. We employ different types of
time-frequency (or time-scale) dictionaries to characterize the PQ
disturbances, and evaluate their performance under different pattern
recognition algorithms. We show that the SLM reduce the PQ classification
complexity promoting sparse basis selection, and improving the classification
accuracy
Optimized complex power quality classifier using one vs. rest support vector machine
Nowadays, power quality issues are becoming a significant research topic because of the increasing inclusion of very sensitive devices and considerable renewable energy sources. In general, most of the previous power quality classification techniques focused on single power quality events and did not include an optimal feature selection process. This paper presents a classification system that employs Wavelet Transform and the RMS profile to extract the main features of the measured waveforms containing either single or complex disturbances. A data mining process is designed to select the optimal set of features that better describes each disturbance present in the waveform. Support Vector Machine binary classifiers organized in a ?One Vs Rest? architecture are individually optimized to classify single and complex disturbances. The parameters that rule the performance of each binary classifier are also individually adjusted using a grid search algorithm that helps them achieve optimal performance. This specialized process significantly improves the total classification accuracy. Several single and complex disturbances were simulated in order to train and test the algorithm. The results show that the classifier is capable of identifying >99% of single disturbances and >97% of complex disturbances.Fil: de Yong, David Marcelo. Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto.

A Decision Tree and S-Transform Based Approach for Power Quality Disturbances Classification
In this paper, it is presented an automated
classification based on S-transform as feature extraction tool and Decision Tree as algorithm classifier. The signals generated according to mathematical models, including complex disturbances, have been used to design and test this approach, where noise is added to the signals from 40dB to 20dB.
Finally, several disturbances, simple and complex, have been considered to test the implemented system. Evaluation results verifying the accuracy of the proposed method are presented.IEE

Investigation of Machine Learning Approaches for Traumatic Brain Injury Classification via EEG Assessment in Mice.
Due to the difficulties and complications in the quantitative assessment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and its increasing relevance in today's world, robust detection of TBI has become more significant than ever. In this work, we investigate several machine learning approaches to assess their performance in classifying electroencephalogram (EEG) data of TBI in a mouse model. Algorithms such as decision trees (DT), random forest (RF), neural network (NN), support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbors (KNN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) were analyzed based on their performance to classify mild TBI (mTBI) data from those of the control group in wake stages for different epoch lengths. Average power in different frequency sub-bands and alpha:theta power ratio in EEG were used as input features for machine learning approaches. Results in this mouse model were promising, suggesting similar approaches may be applicable to detect TBI in humans in practical scenarios
Image Embedding of PMU Data for Deep Learning towards Transient Disturbance Classification
This paper presents a study on power grid disturbance classification by Deep
Learning (DL). A real synchrophasor set composing of three different types of
disturbance events from the Frequency Monitoring Network (FNET) is used. An
image embedding technique called Gramian Angular Field is applied to transform
each time series of event data to a two-dimensional image for learning. Two
main DL algorithms, i.e. CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and RNN (Recurrent
Neural Network) are tested and compared with two widely used data mining tools,
the Support Vector Machine and Decision Tree. The test results demonstrate the
superiority of the both DL algorithms over other methods in the application of
power system transient disturbance classification.Comment: An updated version of this manuscript has been accepted by the 2018

Unbalanced load flow with hybrid wavelet transform and support vector machine based Error-Correcting Output Codes for power quality disturbances classification including wind energy
Purpose. The most common methods to designa multiclass classification consist to determine a set of binary classifiers and to combine them. In this paper support vector machine with Error-Correcting Output Codes (ECOC-SVM) classifier is proposed to classify and characterize the power qualitydisturbances such as harmonic distortion,voltage sag, and voltage swell include wind farms generator in power transmission systems. Firstly three phases unbalanced load flow analysis is executed to calculate difference electric network characteristics, levels of voltage, active and reactive power. After, discrete wavelet transform is combined with the probabilistic ECOC-SVM model to construct the classifier. Finally, the ECOC-SVM classifies and identifies the disturbance type according tothe energy deviation of the discrete wavelet transform. The proposedmethod gives satisfactory accuracy with 99.2% compared with well known methods and shows that each power quality disturbances has specific deviations from the pure sinusoidal waveform,this is good at recognizing and specifies the type of disturbance generated from the wind
power generator.Наиболее распространенные методы построения мультиклассовой классификации заключаются в определении набора двоичных классификаторов и их объединении. В данной статье предложена машина опорных векторов с классификатором выходных кодов исправления ошибок(ECOC-SVM) с целью классифицировать и характеризовать такие нарушения качества электроэнергии, как гармонические искажения, падение напряжения и скачок напряжения, включая генератор ветровых электростанций в системах передачи электроэнергии. Сначала выполняется анализ потока несимметричной нагрузки трех фаз для расчета разностных характеристик электрической сети, уровней напряжения, активной и реактивной мощности. После этого дискретное вейвлет-преобразование объединяется с вероятностной моделью ECOC-SVM для построения классификатора. Наконец, ECOC-SVM классифицирует и идентифицирует тип возмущения в соответствии с отклонением энергии дискретного вейвлет-преобразования. Предложенный метод дает удовлетворительную точность 99,2% по сравнению с хорошо известными методами и показывает, что каждое нарушение качества электроэнергии имеет определенные отклонения от чисто синусоидальной формы волны, что способствует распознаванию и определению типа возмущения, генерируемого ветровым генератором
Support Vector Regression Based S-transform for Prediction of Single and Multiple Power Quality Disturbances
This paper presents a novel approach using Support Vector Regression (SVR) based
S-transform to predict the classes of single and multiple power quality disturbances in a
three-phase industrial power system. Most of the power quality disturbances recorded in an
industrial power system are non-stationary and comprise of multiple power quality
disturbances that coexist together for only a short duration in time due to the contribution
of the network impedances and types of customers’ connected loads. The ability to detect
and predict all the types of power quality disturbances encrypted in a voltage signal is vital
in the analyses on the causes of the power quality disturbances and in the identification of
incipient fault in the networks. In this paper, the performances of two types of SVR based
S-transform, the non-linear radial basis function (RBF) SVR based S-transform and the
multilayer perceptron (MLP) SVR based S-transform, were compared for their abilities in
making prediction for the classes of single and multiple power quality disturbances. The
results for the analyses of 651 numbers of single and multiple voltage disturbances gave
prediction accuracies of 86.1% (MLP SVR) and 93.9% (RBF SVR) respectively.
