Signal Processing of Power Quality Disturbances / IEEE Series on Power Engineering (PDF)

Bridging the gap between power quality and signal processing

This innovative new text brings together two leading experts, one
from signal processing and the other from power quality. Combining
their fields of expertise, they set forth and investigate various
types of power quality disturbances, how measurements of these
disturbances are processed and interpreted, and, finally, the use
and interpretation of power quality standards documents.

As a practical aid to readers, the authors make a clear distinction
between two types of power quality disturbances:

* Variations: disturbances that are continuously present

* Events: disturbances that occur occasionally

A complete analysis and full set of tools are provided for each
type of disturbance:

* Detailed examination of the origin of the disturbance

* Signal processing measurement techniques, including advanced
techniques and those techniques set forth in standards
documents

* Interpretation and analysis of measurement data

* Methods for further processing the features extracted from the
signal processing into site and system indices

The depth of coverage is outstanding: the authors present and
analyze material that is not covered in the standards nor found in
the scientific literature.

This text is intended for two groups of readers: students and
researchers in power engineering who need to use signal processing
techniques for power system applications, and students and
researchers in signal processing who need to perform power system
disturbance analyses and diagnostics. It is also highly recommended
for any engineer or utility professional involved in power quality
monitoring.
