Aspect

Existing approaches

Proposed scheme

Noise robustness

Varies; many degrade at low SNR

Maintains >96% accuracy at SNR = 20 dB

Computational complexity

Deep models (CNN, BiLSTM) often heavy

Lightweight dual-algorithm (AMF + SVM) with fast execution

Feature extraction

Hand-crafted or deep-learned features

Adaptive Median Filter (AMF) for real-time pre-processing

Training data dependency

Requires >70% dataset typically

Performs well with only 50% training data

Response time

Some exceed 20–50 ms

Achieves <15 ms response time

Accuracy on mixed PQDs

Mixed results; prone to overlap

Consistently detects and classifies individual and combined PQDs

Real-time suitability

Questionable for many DL-based models

Validated under noisy, dynamic grid with low-latency results

Interpretability

Limited for deep models

Transparent SVM classification logic

Generalizability

Often tested on synthetic datasets

Validated across multiple operating conditions
