The two main disadvantages of EMD are that it is sensitive to noise (as Wp He noted above), and that each reconstructed frequency tends to be around 1/1.8 to 1/2 of the previous frequency, which limits the ability to perform hypothesis-driven analyses.

What is the advantage of EMD?
EMD can decompose a signal into several narrow-band components, which introduces the attractive feature of robustness in the presence of non-linear and non-stationary data.
Why empirical mode decomposition is used?
Empirical mode decomposition can be used to perform time-frequency analysis while remaining in the time domain. The components are in the same time scale as the original signal, which makes them easier to analyze.
What is variational mode decomposition?
Variational mode decomposition (VMD) is the latest signal processing tool where the input signal is decomposed into different band-limited IMFs. VMD provides improvements over WT and HHT such as no modal aliasing effect and is sensitive to noise. A VMD-based islanding detection method is reported in Ref.
