Abstract

The modern electricity society has seen an increase in the integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid. This has significantly improved the electricity supply and sustainability. However, there are technical challenges related to the power quality (PQ) analysis for grid integrated systems. In this paper, we propose a PQ detection technique using the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and support vector machine (SVM). The DWT analysis technique is used to extract statistical features, which are used as input to train the SVM classifier. The parameters of the SVM are optimised using the harris hawks optimisation (HHO) algorithm. Various scenarios of cases which may affect the quality of network performance are investigated. These events include the voltage sag, voltage swell, notch, transient fault conditions and sudden load increment. The proposed method is validated using the modified practical Eskom network. The presented results show that the proposed scheme correctly classified different cases.
