EWT
A Novel Empirical Wavelet
Transform (EWT) Based D-PMU
EWT behaves like a bank of an H no. of filters, containing one LPF and an (H - 1) no of BPFs
FFT is calculated and only H frequency bins have a nonzero magnitude in range of 0 to fs/2
Adaptive boundaries, Δh, are made as Δ = [Δ1 Δ2 ... ΔH -1 ], where Δh = (ωh + ωh+1)/2, h = 1,2, ..., H - 1
The H wavelet filters are designed using a wavelet scaling function, φ, and wavelet filter function, ψ
The approximation coefficients, X1(m) =< (X(m) × φ1(w)) >
Similarly, the detailed coefficients, Xh(m), Xh(m) =< (X(m) × ψh(w)) >
