An insight into power quality disturbances using wavelet multiresolution analysis

The wavelet transform is beginning to be used widely in power engineering. Its effectiveness for analyzing transients with time localized information is now well known. Multiresolution analysis is especially suitable for feature enhancement of transients and thus makes it possible for power disturbances to be classified. In addition, the wavelet transform works well where the Fourier transform fails. A graphical insight is demonstrated in this letter.
