Power quality problem classification using support vector machine

This paper presents a classification method for power quality problems in electrical power systems. To improve the electric power quality, sources of disturbances must be known and controlled. Power quality disturbance waveform recognition is often troublesome because it involves a broad range of disturbance categories or classes. This is a study of power quality problem classification using support vector machine. After training support vector machine, the parameter of support vector machine is obtained for using to classify the power quality problems. The support vector machine is able to classify 4 types for power quality problems correctly.
