Abstract: The reliability and efficiency of modern electrical power systems hinge on accurately identifying and classifying power quality (PQ) issues. This paper introduces an innovative adaptive wavelet-machine learning framework that combines entropy-based wavelet selection, statistical feature extraction, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification. Unlike traditional fixed-wavelet methods, our approach enhances the time-frequency localization of both transient and non-stationary PQ events by dynamically selecting the most suitable wavelet for each signal, guided by a minimal entropy criterion.The signal is broken down with a 10-level discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Features like energy, standard deviation, and peak are retrieved at different scales. An RBF-kernel SVM is then trained with these features to classify nine typical PQ events. The average inference time is only 2.31 ms per signal, and the system remains robust in noisy conditions (SNR > 20 dB). Experimental data indicate that this framework reaches an average classification accuracy of 99.56%. Since the method outperforms several existing deep learning and fixed-wavelet models in terms of accuracy, interpretability, and computational efficiency, it is suitable for real-time PQ monitoring applications.
