The invention belongs to the technical field of
power quality disturbance detection, and particularly relates to a
power quality disturbance detection method based on improved adaptive S transformation, which comprises the following steps of: designing
window width control factors of two
Gaussian windows, flexibly adjusting
time domain window widths and
frequency spectrum characteristics of the
Gaussian windows, and forming a global adaptive
Gaussian window; taking upper and lower limits of time-frequency two-domain resolution as constraint conditions, taking enhanced
signal energy
concentration ratio as a target function of an optimization scheme, and adopting an
interior point method to carry out parameter solving; performing
fast Fourier transform on the
signal and setting a threshold value, and defining a part higher than a threshold value point as a characteristic frequency point ki; screening calculation at a non-characteristic frequency point, only performing time-frequency transformation at a characteristic frequency point ki, and constructing a
fast algorithm for improving adaptive S transformation; and obtaining a final disturbance characteristic
information value. According to the method, the global adaptive Gaussian window is constructed as a kernel function for improving adaptive S transformation, the effective window length and the
frequency spectrum of the
window function can be automatically adjusted along with the change of the detection frequency, window parameters are prevented from being frequently switched for improving the time-
frequency resolution, and various
power quality disturbances are efficiently and accurately detected.
