12. CLASSIFICATION OF POWER QUALITY CONSIDERING VOLTAGE SAGS IN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS USING KDD PROCESS
In this paper, we propose a methodology to classify Power Quality (PQ) in distribution systems based on voltage sags. The methodology uses the KDD process (Knowledge Discovery in Databases) in order to establish a quality level to be printed in labels. The methodology was applied to feeders on a substation located in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, considering at
