Compressive Sensing Empirical Wavelet Transform for Frequency-Banded Power Measurement Considering Interharmonics

Power measurement algorithms based on Fourier transform are susceptible to errors caused by interharmonics, while wavelet transform algorithms are particularly sensitive to even harmonics due to band decomposition effects. The empirical wavelet transform (EWT) has been demonstrated to improve measurement accuracy by effectively partitioning transition bands. However, for detecting interharmonic components, the limitation of the observation time window restricts spectral resolution, thereby limiting measurement accuracy. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a Compressive Sensing Empirical Wavelet Transform (CSEWT). The approach aims to enhance frequency resolution by integrating compressive sensing with the EWT, allowing precise identification of components across different frequency bands. This enables accurate determination of the power associated with the fundamental frequency, harmonics, and interharmonics. Test results indicate that the proposed CSEWT method can significantly improve the precision of individual frequency component measurements, even under dynamic and noisy conditions.
