Power quality disturbance data compression using wavelet transform methods 论文

摘要

In this paper, the authors present a wavelet compression technique for power quality disturbance data. The compression technique is performed through signal decomposition, thresholding of wavelet transform coefficients and signal reconstruction. Threshold values are determined by weighting the absolute maximum value at each scale. Wavelet transform coefficients whose values are below the threshold are discarded, while those that are above the threshold are kept along with their temporal locations. The authors show the efficacy of the technique by compressing actual disturbance data. The file size of the compressed data is only one-sixth to one-third that of the original data. Therefore, the cost related to storing and transmitting the data is significantly reduced.
