| Summary: | Power quality disturbance (PQD) signal classification is crucial for the real-time monitoring of modern power grids, assuring safe and reliable operation and user safety. Traditional power quality disturbance signal classification approaches are sensitive to noise, feature selection, etc. This study introduces a novel approach utilizing a data-driven convolutional neural network (CNN) to improve the effectiveness of power quality disturbance signal classification. Deep learning has been successfully used in various fields of recognition, yielding promising outcomes. Deep learning is often characterized as a complex system, with its filters and layers being determined through empirical investigations. A deep learning model was developed for the purpose of classifying PQDs, with the aim of narrowing down the search for unidentified PQDs to a specific problem domain. This approach demonstrates a high level of efficiency in accelerating the process of recognizing PQDs among a vast database of PQDs. In order to automatically identify the number of filters and the number of layers in the model in a PQD dataset, the proposed model uses pyramidal clustering, the Fukunaga–Koontz transform, and the ratio of the between-class scatter to the within-class scatter. The suggested model was assessed using the synthetic dataset generated, with and without the presence of noise. The proposed models outperformed both well-known pre-trained models and state-of-the-art PQD classification techniques in terms of classification accuracy.
