: AUTOMATIC CLASSIFICATION OF POWER QUALITY EVENTS USING BALANCED NEURAL TREE
VII. C ONCLUSION
EMD is a promising new addition to existing tools for non-
stationary and nonlinear signal processing. The results reported
here are believed to provide new insights on EMD and its use.
The Hilbert energy spectrum provides a useful visual qualitative
understanding of a signal decomposed by EMD. Different
oscillation modes of EMD are associated with different intrinsic
time scales. The application of HT to the IMFs indicates the IFs.
Thus, EMD with HT gives a reasonably better timefrequency
distribution for the nonstationary signal patterns.
The features that are extracted are applied to a BNT for
classification. Experimental results demonstrate that the pro-
posed solution adapts well to different classification problems,
showing a good generalization property. In particular, the depth
of the generated tree is always less than the depth of the
standard NT. A comparison of the proposed approach with the
ST is presented. The comparisons of classification accuracies
indicate that the proposed method is a competent method for
the classification of power signal disturbances.
