Applications of wavelet transforms in electric power quality: Harmonic distortion

Wavelet transform is, at present, one of the most useful digital signal processing tools for time-frequency analysis of power quality disturbances in power systems. This paper presents a review of the applications of wavelet transforms in the measurement and analysis of harmonic distortion in power systems, discussing the performance, advantages and limitations of the different methods proposed in the technical literature.
