Abstract: - Power system transient can cause serious damage to main power system apparatus and sensitive loads.
There are many causes of power system transient including capacitor bank switching, switching of large inductive
loads and lightning. This paper discusses the application of pattern recognition method, namely Support Vector
Machine (SVM) to classify the cause of transient disturbance in power system. Two types of feature extractions are
applied to provide the inputs to the SVM, i.e. the minimum and maximum peak voltage values and the wavelet energy
level of the transients. The IEEE 30 bus system is modeled using the Power System Computer Aided Design
(PSCAD) software to generate different type of transient data caused by capacitor switching and lightning. Feature
extraction is performed using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) analysis. The results showed that the performance of
the feature extraction using maximum and minimum peak voltage values is superior (80%) as compared to the wavelet
energy (54%) to classify the cause of the transient.

This section describes theories of wavelet and support
vector machine that are used in this paper to classify
the cause of transients.
2.1 Wavelet
Wavelet transform (WT) is a mathematical technique
used for many application of signal processing.
Wavelet is much more powerful than conventional
methods in processing the stochastic signal because of
analyzing the waveform time-scale region [10]. This
paper used the applicability of the Discrete Wavelet
Transform (DWT) to the analysis of power system
transient [10-11]. The DWT is defined as:

4 Conclusions
In this paper, results attained using RBF kernel
function of the SVM has proved that the method can
be used to classify the causes of transient. Comparison
made between the two types of feature extraction, the
minimum and maximum of peak voltage values and
the wavelet energy level reveal that, the former is
superior in accuracy (80%) to classify the cause of
transient. The RBF kernel has been identified as the
best kernel to classify the causes of transient as either
