This creates a demand for computational tools that aid in the analysis of the phenomena and also that allow efficient transmission and storage of the information acquired. In this context, signal processing techniques play a fundamental role. This work is a tutorial reviewing the principles and applications of atomic signal modeling of electric disturbance signals. The disturbance signal is modeled using a linear combination of damped sinusoidal components which are closely related to the phenomena typically observed in power systems. The signal model obtained is then employed for disturbance signal denoising, filtering of “DC components,” and compression. Copyright © 2007 Lisandro Lovisolo et al.

INTRODUCTION

Electric disturbance signals are acquired by digitizing the voltage and/or current waveforms with digital fault recorders (DFRs) at several points of the power system network. Figure 1 illustrates a typical DFR data, composed by the voltage and current waveforms of a three-phase system and the correspondent neutrals in a transmission line. In Figure 1, we can observe the three main parts of interest for fault analysis. The prefault shows the system behavior prior to the fault occurrence and the postfault shows the system state after fault recovering. Along with fault signals, power quality events are also acquired in order to monitor transient behavior and evaluate the impacts of power consumer apparatuses on the power quality. The analysis of disturbance signals allows the identification of patterns and characteristics of faults and also to assess power quality [1–6]. The number of points monitored in power systems is increasing rapidly because: (a) the power system operation bounds get more critical as demand increases; (b) at large interconnected systems, it is necessary to establish precisely the causes of the disturbance as well as the responsibilities for the

resulting effects. Storage and transmission of disturbance signals may generate an information overload, even though the cost of storag
