Aiming at the problem that FFT can't detect the transient signal, and wavelet analysis is easy to produce energy leakage and frequency aliasing in power harmonic detection, the paper gives a new algorithm which combined wavelet with information entropy in order to design a new function that is wavelet energy entropy, it is used to extract informations of transient signal effectively in power system. According to the harmonic characters in power system, a mathematic model is done based on it.
