1. INTRODUCTION
In signal processing the time-frequency domain has
often been exploited for analyzing signals with fast
changmg spectral contents. The wavelet analysis [1]-[3]
can be used for similar purposes, and has been exploited
recently for several types of voltage and current
disturbances [4]-[lo] and for power system protection
[ll]. Several possible power system applications for
wavelet analysis have been proposed, among others:
automated disturbance classification [81; identification
using wavelet-based neural classifier [4], [5]; propagation
of power system transients [7]; detection of faults [ll],
[12]; and visualization of time varying harmonics [13].
The stated advantage of using wavelets compared to
Fourier transform [14]-[I61 is the trade-off between
frequency and time resolution at different frequencies.
Harmonic analysis has obvious advantages in a linear
system and is therefore widely used in power system
engineering. The most widely used analysis involves the
fundamental (50 or 60 Hz) component, which is again a
harmonic (sinusoidal) signal. When using wavelet
transforms it is often difficult to extract the fundamental

3. DISCRETE STFI
Discrete Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is used
for time-frequency analysis of nonstationary signals,
where the use of Fourier transform alone becomes
inadequate. Discrete STFT decomposes the time-varying
signal into time-frequency domain components; hence it
provides an insight in the time-evolution of each signal
component. Given a signal x(n) the discrete STFT for
frequency band k at time n is defined as (1)
X ( P k )= &(m)w(n
-mk-km

is the number of frequency bands
w (m) is the selected symmetric window of size L, L I N
if signal reconstructionis required.
