Harmonic signal extraction from noisy chaotic interference based on synchrosqueezed wavelet transform

For the harmonic signal extraction from chaotic interference, a harmonic signal extraction method is proposed based on synchrosqueezed wavelet transform(SWT). First, the mixed signal of chaotic signal, harmonic signal, and noise is decomposed into a series of intrinsic mode-type functions by synchrosqueezed wavelet transform(SWT) then the instantaneous frequency of intrinsic mode-type functions is analyzed by using of Hilbert transform, and the harmonic extraction is realized. In experiments of harmonic signal extraction, the Duffing and Lorenz chaotic signals are selected as interference signal, and the mixed signal of chaotic signal and harmonic signal is added by Gauss white noises of different intensities.The experimental results show that when the white noise intensity is in a certain range, the extracting harmonic signals measured by the proposed SWT method have higher precision, the harmonic signal extraction effect is obviously superior to the classical empirical mode decomposition method.

A Hybrid Coordinated Design Method for Power System Stabilizer and FACTS Device Based on Synchrosqueezed Wavelet Transform and Stochastic Subspace Identification

The occurrence of low-frequency electromechanical oscillations is a major problem in the effective operation of power systems. The scrutiny of these oscillations provides substantial information about power system stability and security. In this paper, a new method is introduced based on a combination of synchrosqueezed wavelet transform and the stochastic subspace identification (SSI) algorithm to investigate the low-frequency electromechanical oscillations of large-scale power systems. Then, the estimated modes of the power system are used for the design of the power system stabilizer and the flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) device. In this optimization problem, the control parameters are set using a hybrid approach composed of the Prony and residual methods and the modified fruit fly optimization algorithm. The proposed mode estimation method and the controller design are simulated in MATLAB using two test case systems, namely IEEE 2-area 4-generator and New England-New York 68-bus 16-generator systems. The simulation results demonstrate the high performance of the proposed method in estimation of local and inter-area modes, and indicate the improvements in oscillation damping and power system stability.
