The smart grid concept is being applied more and more frequently and this is due to the need to integrate all the components that are part of power systems today, starting from generation units, storage systems, communications and connected loads. Non-linear and non-stationary signals have been obtained in this type of systems, which have high penetration of non-conventional energy sources (NCSRE) and non-linear loads. The power quality criterion has had to be adapted to the new conditions of the electrical systems and this has led to the need to search for new analysis methodologies for the acquired signals. In this article we present a review on non-linear and non-stationary signal analysis methods in electrical systems with high NCSRE penetration. To this end we explore the application of the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT), Wavelet Transform (WT) and Wigner-Ville Distribution (WVD), exposing each of the advantages and disadvantages of these methods. To validate the methodology, we have selected some synthetic signals that adequately describe the typical behaviors in these systems.

There is very rich fault information in vibration signals of rotating machineries. The real vibration signals are nonlinear, non-stationary and time-varying signals mixed with many other factors. It is very useful for fault diagnosis to extract fault features by using time-frequency analysis techniques. Recent researches of time-frequency analysis methods including Short Time Fourier Transform, Wavelet Transform, Wigner-Ville Distribution, Hilbert-Huang Transform, Local Mean Decomposition, and Local Characteristic-scale Decomposition are introduced. The theories, properties, physical significance and applications, advantages and disadvantages of these methods are analyzed and compared. It is pointed that algorithms improvement and combined applications of time-frequency analysis methods should be researched in the future.

The Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) is a new time-frequency analysis with adaptability and orthogonality, but it is rather weak in terms of noise resistance, even low noise can disturb the HHT result greatly. The paper launches an investigation on how noises affect the HHT result and proposes the method to solve the problem. The analytic framework for HHT is first introduced, the feature of the test signal is extracted by HHT. Median filter is adopted to reduce the frequency leakage of certain signal component caused by white noise. The method proposed is experimentally simulated and the results demonstrate its effectiveness.

Chaos theory is an important aspect of non-linear research, and has infiltrated a number of disciplines and engineering fields. With the increasing scale of power systems, the nonlinear characteristics are more and more obvious, under certain conditions there will even be chaotic behavior, appears as irregular electromechanical oscillations, constituting a threat to the system.[1-3]. So it becomes an urgent need to take effective control measures to curb or eliminate the chaotic oscillations in the non-linear power system. Chaos oscillation in the power system is harmful and should take measures to suppress and eliminate. There have been a lot of chaos control methods, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages and different application. This report mainly studies fuzzy control among its advantages and the features of the power system.

Vortex-Induced Motion (VIM) is a highly non-linear dynamic phenomenon. Usual spectral analysis methods, using the Fourier transform, rely on the hypotheses of linear and stationary dynamics. A method to treat non-stationary signals that emerge from non-linear systems is denoted Hilbert-Huang transform method (HHT). The development of an analysis methodology to study the VIM of a MPSO (Monocolumn Production, Storage and Offloading System) using HHT was presented. The purposes of the analysis methodology are to improve the statistics characteristics of VIM. The results showed to be comparable to results obtained from the traditional analysis (mean of the 10% highest peaks) principally for the motions in the transverse direction, although the difference between the results from the traditional analysis for the motions in the in-line direction showed a difference of around 25%. The results from the HHT analysis are more reliable than the traditional ones, owing to the larger number of points to calculate the statistics characteristics. These results should be used to design the risers and mooring lines, as well as to obtain parameters of the VIM to calibrate numerical predictions.

In this work, the expression of the phasor of apparent power of harmonic distortion is formulated in the time domain. Applying this phasor along with the phasor of apparent unbalance power allows us to obtain a new set of phasors that include all of the inefficient power components appearing in the transfer of energy in non-linear and unbalanced systems. In this manner, a new model of inefficient power in electrical systems is developed. For each voltage harmonic of order ‘m’ and current harmonic of order ‘n’, a phasor of harmonic apparent power is obtained. Accuracy in the determination of the total apparent power of a system depends on the number of harmonics considered. Each phasor of apparent harmonic power is formed from six mutually orthogonal parameters or components that are calculated from the harmonic voltages at the nodes of the network and the circulating harmonic currents. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed formulation, a four-wire non-linear system formed by two nodes is assessed.

The lifespan assessment and maintenance planning of high-voltage power systems requires condition monitoring of all the operational equipment in a specific area. Electrical insulation of electrical apparatuses is prone to failure due to high electrical stresses, and thus it is a critical aspect that needs to be monitored. The ageing process of the electrical insulation in high voltage equipment may accelerate due to the occurrence of partial discharge (PD) that may in turn lead to catastrophic failures if the related defects are left untreated at an initial stage. Therefore, there is a requirement to monitor the PD levels so that an unexpected breakdown of high-voltage equipment is avoided. There are several ways of detecting PD, such as acoustic detection, optical detection, chemical detection, and radiometric detection. This paper focuses on reviewing techniques based on radiometric detection of PD, and more specifically, using received signal strength (RSS) for the localization of faults. This paper explores the advantages and disadvantages of radiometric techniques and presents an overview of a radiometric PD detection technique that uses a transistor reset integrator (TRI)-based wireless sensor network (WSN).
