Applying Wavelet Transform to Ferroresonance Detection and Protection

Non-synchronous breakage or line failure in power
systems with light or no loads can lead to core saturation in
transformers or potential transformers. This can cause component and
capacitance matching resulting in the formation of resonant circuits,
which trigger ferroresonance. This study employed a wavelet
transform for the detection of ferroresonance. Simulation results
demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.
