Partial discharge(PD) tests were performed both when the pumped storage generator(rated 13.8kV and 220MVA) was on-line and off-line. This generator has been equipped with 12 bus coupler sensors in directional mode. PD tests were conducted using partial discharge analyzer(PDA), partial discharge meter(PDM) and digital partial discharge detector. PDA showed that the patterns of the normalized quantity number(NQN) and the partial discharge magnitude are in accord with on-line and off-line. The insulation condition was estimated by diagnostic tests(off-line) such as PD magnitude and dissipation factor.

Accident dangerousness of domestic hydro power generators which are operated in Korea is on the increase because of use at the long term. On this, the Off-line diagnosis techniques developed to the On-line by continued domestic technical development since 2000. Especially, On-line insulation diagnosis of domestic hydro power generator is possible by localization of partial electric discharge sensor and On-line insulation diagnosis system. This paper shows the diagnosis result that is applied localized Ceramic Coupler and PDMS-HG(Partial Discharge Monitoring System for Hydro Generator) at four Chung-ju hydro Generator used for 25 years. Particularly, the confidence of insulation diagnosis is improved by using high frequency filter and sampling the partial discharge signals which occur in site. For reviewing the confidence of On-Line insulation diagnosis system, we measured the outside noises and partial discharge signals during practical operation by using the partial discharge diagnosis system of the Full A/D process. And we reviewed the confidence of the On-Line insulation diagnosis system by comparing and analyzing these data.

Off-line and on-line partial discharges were measured on a 828MVA, 22kV and direct hydrogen-cooled large turbine generator. Partial discharge tests were conducted using digital partial discharge detector(PDD) and turbine generator analyzer(TGA). PDD and TGA showed that off-line partial discharge pattern seems to be very, similar to that found with on-line. Most of the partial discharge is originating with the stator slot in the three phases. As the partial discharge activity is very low, the stator insulation condition of this generator is very good.

In hydro-generator, a groundwall insulation of stator windings gradually deteriorates due to mechanical, thermal, electrical and environmental stresses. These stresses combine to result in loose windings, delamination of the stator insulation and/or electrical tracking of the endwinding, all of which can lead to stator insulation failures. Conventionally, off-line tests such as partial discharge measurement, DC/AC current and .DELTA.tan.delta. tests has been used for estimation of winding condition. However, off-line test requires large power supply and generator outage. In addition, major cause of insulation problems such as loose wedges and slot dischages may not be found with off-line diagnoses. This paper introduces the on-line partial discharge measurement techniques using frequency spectrum analyzer(FSA) for the generator stator windings. The experimental results from the UIAM #1 hydro-generator confirms a optimistic application of on-line generator diagnosis method as a reliable tool for evaluation of winding condition.

In this paper, in implementing a 4-coil resonant wireless power transmission system, we studied the discharge phenomenon that occurs at the end of the transmitting resonance coil. Resonant wireless power transmission consists of a power supply coil, a transmitting resonance coil, a power receiving resonance coil, and a load coil. The transmitting resonance coil serves to amplify the magnetic field generated from the power supply coil and transmits it to the front receiving resonance coil. When a high current flows through the power supply coil in order to transmit large power, a high voltage is induced at the end of the transmitting resonance coil. It causes line-to-line discharge. Line-to-line discharge phenomenon damages the transmitter case and renders the transmitter unusable. Therefore, in order to eliminate this line-to-line discharge phenomenon, the voltage induced in the transmitting resonance coil that causes line-to-line discharge was analyzed and a solution was proposed.

In this study, the characteristics of partial discharge was measured for the four core silicone cable (0.6/1.0 kV, $1.0SQ{\times}4C$) with insulated part of 15 cm and conductor of 1cm. The following results have been confirmed as a result of this study. When the first line of cable is connected to the positive electrode and the second, third line of cable is connected to the negative electrode, it found that the inception voltage and extinction voltage decreased with increasing the line of negative electrode, and the partial discharge charge quantity(Q) increases, while the number of discharge occurrence has decreased. The inception voltage and extinction voltage of partial discharge has decreased with increasing the degradation rate in the 33%, 67%, 100%. Also, it confirmed that the partial discharge charge quantity(Q) and the number of discharge occurrence has decreased.

This paper describes a technique that can predict electric fires by detection of discharge voltage signals caused by the use of electric facilities. In the experiment, various discharge modes, a flashover or a surface discharge through insulation paper and a line to line short, were simulated to acquire electrical information for predicting electrical fire as discharge modes. From the experimental results, it is hewn that electorial discharges which are ranked as majority causes of electric fires generate characterized signals distinguished from power frequency. Finally. We designed a prototype discharge detector based on the experimental results, and the detector is applied to a power lines. This study showed that the prediction of electric fires is possible by monitoring discharge voltage signals in electric power lines.

Partial discharge patterns were analyzed in the pumped storage generator stator winding. These were measured using partial discharge analyzer(PDA) and digital partial discharge detector(PDD). Slot discharge was discovered in phase A. Discharges at conductor surface were occurred in phase B and in Phase C. Partial discharge patterns from on-line PDA system were compared with those off-line PDD system. The results of two systems are very same in phase A, B and C.

We have developed an on-line ultrasonic detector to monitor partial discharge in an operating transformer. The ultrasonic sensor has 150[KHz] resonance frequency and contains a pre-amplifier with 60[㏈] gain. The on-line ultrasonic detector has 50~300[KHz] frequency band-pass filter to remove electrical and mechanical noises from the transformer. This detector has an ultrasonic signal discrimination algorithm which discriminates ultrasonic signals due to partial discharge in a transformer. A moving average method of ultrasonic signal number was employed to effectively monitor the increasing trend of the partial discharge. This paper describes an experience of partial discharge detection in a 154[㎸] operating transformer using an ultrasonic detector. With regards to gas analysis in oil, C2H2 gas was produced with a warning level in this transformer We detected ultrasonic signals on the transformer steel wall, and estimated the position of partial discharge. With further inspection, we found carbonized marks due to partial discharge on the supporting bolt which fastens the windings.

In order to improve the reliability of stator windings for hydro generators, it is necessary to detect the defective point and life assessment of the high voltage windings. Especially the on-line partial discharge (PD) test provides the ability to monitor effects, such as slot discharge, internal discharge, and end-winding discharge without interrupting generators, this method has been proven the major testing technology in high voltage rotating machines nowadays. The purpose of this paper is to describe the method of the on-line PD measurement on stator windings for hydro-generator with 13 [kV] class ceramic coupler (CC), on-line PD measuring system, terminal box, and index parameters. Also, the developed PD measuring system and 13 [kV] class CC were installed Daechung-dam generator #2. It was found that this installed sensor and system had good electrical characteristics to detect PD activity during the operating condition with its detection frequency band is between several and several tens MHz.
