IPQDA: A Software Tool for Intelligent Analysis of Power Quality Disturbances

This paper presents the Intelligent Power Quality Disturbance Analysis (IPQDA) software tool that is designed for an automatic analysis of power quality (PQ) disturbance. The main capabilities of the software include analysis of disturbance waveforms, identification of a particular type of disturbance and notification of a disturbance. Another important feature of the program is that it can automatically send email or short messaging notifications upon identification of a disturbance to alert the system operator of a disturbance.
