This paper proposes a technique that uses Wavelet Multiresolution Analysis (MRA) and Neural Networks for the detection and classification of transients in a power system. Daubechies eight (db 8) wavelet transforms of the phase current on a transmission line fed from both ends are used. The 5 th level output of MRA detail signal of phase current is used to train a perceptron neural network. After training, the perceptron neural network is able to classify all three types of power system transients correctly. All the work is carried out in MATLAB Power System Block set program. The simulation results show that the proposed method is simple, accurate and reliable to automate the procedure of classification of power system transients. This paper is focused on identification of transients but can also be easily extended to other power system solutions such as fault location and so forth.

The projected formula is verified victimization MATLAB/Simulink package and also the obtained results prove that each MRA and WSE based mostly fault detection and classification ways square measure much possible and reliable.

WAVELET TRANSFORM BASED FAULT DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION IN TRANSMISSION LINE
This paper presents a Wavelet Transform based approach to detect and classify different shunt faults that may occur in transmission lines. The algorithm is based mainly on calculating the RMS values of the wavelet coefficients of current signals at both the ends of the transmission line over a moving window length of half cycle.The current signals are analyzed with 'db4' wavelet to obtain detail coefficients and compared with threshold values to detect and classify the faults. To illustrate effectiveness of proposed technique extensive simulation studies using PSCAD/EMTDC and MATLAB have been carried out for different types of faults considering wide variations in fault resistances, inception angle and loading levels. Fault data generated by PSCAD/EMTDC have been used for fault detection and classification by a MATLAB program.

In general fault analysis is carried out for a given system assuming various types of fault currents are estimated based on the configurations. It is proposed to implement Discrete Wavelet Transformer (DWT) approach for fault classification once the fault currents are known in a particular location. Daubechies eight (D-8) wavelet transforms of the three phase currents on a transmission line fed from both ends is used. An algorithm is implemented for the classification of faults in the transmission line using MATLAB-SIMULINK software. The advent of large generating stations and highly interconnected power systems makes early fault detection and rapid equipment isolation imperative to maintain system stability. In analyzing the fault are existing methods like Fourier analysis, Short Time Fourier Transforms and Fast Fourier Transforms have the limitations of fixed window and poor resolution. If wavelet transforms are opted, they overcome the above disadvantages, as wavelet transforms employ analysis functions that are localized both in time and frequency domain. It focuses on short-time intervals for high frequency components and long-time intervals for low frequency components. Wavelets have a window that automatically adapts to give appropriate resolution.
