The present application belongs to the technical field of
power quality measurement, and provides a
harmonic distortion type identification method and
system based on symmetry characteristics, which obtains power
signal data according to a preset sampling window sliding; processes the obtained data, extracts
harmonic components, calculates single-window
harmonic energy variance indexes, performs grouping
processing, compares with a preset center-symmetry
normalized mean square error threshold, judges whether each group of data conforms to center-symmetry distribution, and then compares with an error threshold of inter-harmonic characteristics to obtain an inter-harmonic criterion variable; processes, calculates and analyzes
time domain data of any complete single period, compares the consistency degree of the translated first
half cycle data and the inverted second
half cycle data to obtain an even harmonic criterion variable; and comprehensively identifies the
signal harmonic
distortion type according to the inter-harmonic criterion variable and the even harmonic criterion variable. The present application realizes accurate identification of the power
signal harmonic
distortion type.
