摘要
This work presents an advanced mathematical tool applicable to the recognition and classification of power system transients and disturbances. Disturbances without a periodic pattern or with a non-linear pattern require a more suitable tool than the Fourier series （Fast Fourier or Windowed Fourier Transforms）. To overcome these drawbacks, other tools have been broadly used, such as the wavelet transform. However, the wavelet transform also has some drawbacks such as the lack of adaptivity or interpretation of nonlinear phenomena that the Hilbert and Hilbert Huang Transform techniques could mitigate. The Hilbert techniques transform a time domain function into a space representation both in time and frequency. In the paper, the technique is applied to analyse several short-term and steady events, like a short circuit, a capacitor-switching transient, or a line energisation, showing the abilities of the Hilbert-based transforms.
