Transient power quality problems analyzed using wavelets

In the literature, wavelet techniques have been proposed for the identification of power system transient signals (e.g., lightning impulse, and capacitor switching transients). In this paper, the wavelet technique is proposed for the analysis of the propagation of transients in power systems. The advantages and disadvantages of the method are discussed and the way in which these analysis methods complement previously reported identification methods is described. An example based on the discretized solution of a differential equation is given.
