The authors propose a new method of power quality classification using SVM (Support Vector Machine) neural networks. Classifier based on RBF networks (Radial Basis Function) was in parallel applied to enable proper performance comparison. Both, RBF and SVM networks are introduced and considered an appropriate tool for classification problems. Space phasor is used for feature extraction from three-phase signals, to build distinguished patterns for classifiers. In order to create training and testing vectors different disturbance classes were simulated (e.g. sags, voltage fluctuations, transients) in Matlab. Finally, the investigation results of the novel approach are shown and interpreted.
