Wavelet analysis for power system transients

Abstract

The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce the basics of wavelet analysis and propose how this new mathematical tool may be applied in power engineering. Frequently, newcomers to wavelet analysis become discouraged due to the oftentimes elusive mathematical rigor of the subject and the variety of nomenclatures that are used in various arenas. This tutorial presents wavelet analysis in such a way that the reader can easily grasp the rudiments and begin investigating the use of this powerful tool in a variety of applications related to power engineering.
