Traditional power quality disturbances (PQD) classification methods rely on a large amount of labeled data and perform poorly under multiple disturbance coupling and strong noise interference. To solve this problem
this paper proposes a semi-supervised PQD recognition framework that integrates a time-frequency adaptive wavelet network (TFAWNet). First
a teacher network TFAWNet based on wavelet convolution and multi-level attention mechanism is constructed and trained with a small amount of labeled data to obtain the optimal model. Subsequently
the trained and optimized teacher model is used to perform deep reasoning on unlabeled data to generate high-confidence pseudo labels
and the labeled data and pseudo-label data are combined to jointly train a lightweight student network EfficientNet. The experimental results show that with only 50 labeled samples for each type of disturbance
the student network has a test accuracy of 93.27% on the simulation data. After the model is deployed on the edge computing platform
it is verified by measured data that the accuracy is as high as 99.83%
and the average inference time is only 10 ms. These performances further verify the superior performance of the framework in simulation and practice
