The invention discloses a
voltage sag source identification method based on Hilbert-Huang transformation and
wavelet packet energy spectra, and belongs to the field of
electric energy quality analysis of
electric power system. The method includes the steps: firstly, performing EMD (empirical mode
decomposition) for a three-phase
voltage signal to obtain IMF (intrinsic mode function) components; secondly, performing n-layer
wavelet packet
decomposition for the IMF components to obtain energy spectra of frequency bands; thirdly, setting a larger
wavelet packet coefficient of low-
frequency band energy into zero, and reconstructing wavelet packet coefficients corresponding to other frequency bands to obtain an IMF without low-frequency illusive components; finally, performing Hilbert transformation on the IMF without the illusive components to obtain an HH (Hilbert-Huang)
spectrogram, and identifying
voltage sag sources according to catastrophe points, amplitudes,
harmonic waves and frequencies of the HH
spectrogram. Different characteristics of different
voltage sag sources can be identified from the HH
spectrogram only by taking the amplitudes, the catastrophe points and the
harmonic waves as characteristics, the
voltage sag sources are differentiated, so that times of non-identification and mistaken identification are effectively decreased, and identification efficiency is improved.
