Control method and system for filtering power line interferences

A control method and system for filtering power line interference is disclosed. The control method includes the following steps. First, ECG signals are pre-segmented and rectified; then the sinusoidal frequency, amplitude, and phase of the rectified segmented signals are extracted. These estimated sinusoidal parameters from each recorded channel are weighted by their individual signal to noise ratios before being averaged to achieve the optimal powerline frequency, amplitude, and phase. Based on these optimal sinusoidal parameters, the individual sinusoidal waveform is reconstructed and then is subtracted from the corresponding ECG segment, in order to obtain the clean ECG signals. This method of filtering the powerline interference through removal from recorded signals enables accurate measurement without any ringing effect that could lead to signal distortion issues. Thus this invention solves the ringing problem encountered by traditional notch filter techniques when signal amplitude suddenly changes in a measurement.

ANOMALY DETECTION IN ENERGY SYSTEMS
20220376501 · 2022-11-24 ·

A method and system are provided for anomaly detection in energy systems. Non-contact sensing of an energy system based on electric and magnetic fields uses non-contact electric- and magnetic-field sensors to produce electric- and magnetic-field signals. The electric and magnetic field signals are filtered to remove noise. Features are extracted and normalized from the magnetic and electric field signals to characterize parameters of each signal. Density-based spatial clustering of extracted features is performed using a selected minimum number of points required to form a cluster and a parameter indicating the distance within which data are considered to fall within the cluster. An anomaly is determined from data point(s) that do not fall within the cluster formed by data points in normal operation. The density-based spatial clustering of extracted features may be performed using a Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Application with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm. Features may be extracted using Fourier analysis.
