A new optimal feature selection algorithm for classification of power quality disturbances using discrete wavelet transform and probabilistic neural network

Automatic classification of Power Quality Disturbances (PQDs) is a challenging concern for both the utility and industry. In this paper, a novel technique of automatic classification of single and hybrid PQDs is proposed. The proposed algorithm consists of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Pr...
