We simulated insulation defects of stator winding wire on high voltage generator by 5 types. 4 types have one discharge source and other one has multi discharge source by simulation. For accurate decision, measurements used to PRPD pattern to occurred partial discharge source of various types. In this research, when PRPD pattern carried out or analyzed pattern recognition of discharge source, it used to powerful tools. In this result, PRPD Pattern defined to have single discharge source of 4 types by insulation defect. When insulation defect simulated, all the defected winding have not the same result. Errors for a little different can make mistakes from a subtle distinction. The difference between internal and void discharge have magnitude of pulse amplitude of inner discharge bigger than void discharge and have a shape of bisymmetry. But void discharge has a shape of bisymmetry against maximum value on polarity respectively. In cases of slot and surface discharge, we confirmed to show similar results those other researchers. In case of multi-discharge, as a result of we could classify not perfect match with occurred patterns in single discharge eachother. In the future, we will have to recognize and classify with results of multi-discharge.

지속적으로 증가되는 전기에너지 공급의 신뢰성을 높이기 위하여 전력설비 주요 사고 원인인 부분방전(PD : Partial Discharge)을 검출하고 결함원의 패턴인식 방법의 개발 필요성 날로 증가되고 있다. 본 논문은 부분방전의 패턴인식 확률을 높이기 위하여 검출된 부분방전의 주파수 분석을 이용하여 Conventional PRPD Analysis 방법의 결함 판독확률을 향상시키기 위하여 Advanced PRPD를 제안 한다. 이를 위하여, GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear)의 주요 사고원인으로 인식되어 있는 결함들을 인위적으로 제작 후 삽입하여 부분방전을 발생시켜 자체 설계 개발된 UHF 내장형 센서를 이용하여 검출하였다. 새로이 제안하는 방법과 기존의 PRPD 방법의 인식률을 상호 비교하기 위하여, 두 가지 그룹을, 즉, 기존의 방법에 의한 것과 부분방전의 주파수 분석이 포함된 방법에 의한 데이터그룹을 구축하고 학습방법은 동일한 인공신경망 MLP (Multilayer Perceptron)를 이용하여 인식률과 학습시간을 동시에 비교하였다. 상호 비교 결과에 의하면, 후자의 방법이 인식확률 뿐만아니라 학습시간도 좋은 결과가 나타났다.

Assessing the condition of air insulation by measuring electromagnetic wave generated in it by partial discharges gives warning of developing faults and breakdown which may give some bad effects to other thing concerned with it. Electromagnetic wave are taken from UHF antenna with 20k ~ 2GHz frequency range. The signal waveform and FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) results from UHF antenna for PD(partial discharge) generated from two different electrode(needle-plane, needle-needle) configurations are shown and it is processed by using PRPD($\Phi-q-n$ distribution) method. Cumulative pulse sequence during 100 period is compared with PRPD method. This also will show the possibility of making apparent distinction between two PD sources.

The phenomenon of PD(Partial Discharge) is accompanied by electromagnetic wave which can be detected by UHF(Ultra High Frequency) antenna. The signals obtaining from UHF antenna are very high rapid pulse and have wide band frequency responses. The distribution of PRPD(Phase Resolved Partial Discharge) which consisted of those pulse train can show distinct characteristics of PD sources. But it is not sufficient to discriminate among PD sources. This paper suggests that the stochastic parameters formed by preprocessing of STFT(Short Time Fourier Transform) are good tools for differentiate from PD sources. The stochastic parameters are CC(Cross Correlation) mean value, CC standard deviation, CC skewness, CC kurtosis.

We have designed 4 types(void in insulation paper, protrusion electrode, floating electrode, surface discharge) of partial discharge(PD) defect to simulate typical faults found in oil filled power transformers. Ultra-high frequency(UHF) radiation due to PD was measured using a UHF measuring system and a conventional PD measuring system, simultaneously. Electromagnetic radiation spectra of these defects show UHF radiation up to about 1.5-2 GHz range. The phase resolved partial discharge(PRPD) patterns of UHF radiation from the PD defects were also measured and the pattern reveals distinct feature for each defect types. The UHF measuring could be used to detect PDs in oil filled transformers and analysis of the PRPD pattern should provide useful information on origin of PD signal.

It has been confirmed that the inner defect of transformer and the perfect diagnosis for aging are closely related to safe electric power transmission system and that the detection of accident and diagnosis technique turn out to be very important issues. Since electric power machinery consists of various kinds of components, however, it is very difficult to make a diagnosis for aging by one parameter. Thus, diagnosis for aging is feasible only through the combination of various parameters. Recently, various expert systems have been developed and applied to diagnosis for aging, but they are not yet reliable enough to apply to the real system. In this paper, XLPE which is ultra high voltage cable insulator material were chosen to investigate the influence of void on insulator material using partial discharge. Obtained data have been processed by PRPD (phased resolved partial discharge) distribution function and K-means. And statistical and cluster distribution of partial discharge have been analysed and investigated.

In recent times, development of nanofluid insulation for power transformers is a hot research topic. Many researchers reported the enhancement in dielectric characteristics of nano modified mineral oils. Considering the drawbacks of petroleum based mineral oil, it is necessary to understand the dielectric characteristics of nanofluids developed with natural ester based oils. Palm oil has better insulation characteristics comparable to mineral oil. However very few research reports is available in the area of nanofluids based on palm oil. Partial discharge (PD) is one of the major sources of insulation performance degradation of transformer oil. It is essential to understand the partial discharge(PD) characteristics by collecting huge data base of PD performance of nano modified palm oil which will increase its confidence level for power transformer application. Knowing these facts, in the present work, certain laboratory experiments have been performed on PD characteristics of nano $SiO_2$ modified palm oil at different electrode configurations. Influence of concentration of nano filler material on the PD characteristics is also studied. Partial discharge inception voltage, Phase resolved partial discharge (PRPD) pattern, PD signal time-frequency domain characteristics, PD signal equivalent timelength-bandwidth mapping, Weibull distribution statistical parameters of PRPD pattern, skewness, repetition rate and phase angle variations are evaluated at different test conditions. From the results of the experiments conducted, we came to understand that PD performance of palm oil is considerably enhanced with the addition of $nano-SiO_2$ filler at 0.01%wt and 0.05%wt concentration. Significant reduction in PD inception voltage, repetition rate, Weibull shape parameter and PD magnitude are noticed with addition of $SiO_2$ nanofillers in palm oil. These results will be useful for recommending nano modified palm oil for power transformer applications.

This study was carried out for the reliability of PD(Partial Discharge) pattern recognition. For the pattern recognition, the database for PD was established by use of self-designed insulation defects which occur and were mostly critical in GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear). The acquired database was analyzed to distinguish patterns by means of PRPD(Phase Resolved Partial Discharge) method and stored to the form with to unite the average amplitude of PD pulse and the number of PD pulse as the input data of neural network. In order to prove the performance of genetic algorithm combined with neural network, the neural networks with trial-and-error method and the neural network with genetic algorithm were trained by same training data and compared to the results of their pattern recognition rate. As a result, the recognition success rate of defects was 93.2% and the neural network train process by use of trial-and-error method was very time consuming. The recognition success rate of defects, on the other hand, was 100% by applying the genetic algorithm at neural network and it took a relatively short time to find the best solution of parameters for optimization. Especially, it could be possible that the scrupulous parameters were obtained by genetic algorithm.

Partial Discharge (PD) phenomena occurred by different nature of insulating defects has been regarded as a random process by which Phase Resolved Partial Discharge Analysis(PRPDA) has been proposed and then commercially accepted for the diagnosis of the power apparatus since more than three decades. Moreover, for the same purpose, a novel approach based on the Chaotic Analysis(CAPD) has been proposed since 2000, in which Partial Discharge(PD) phenomena is suggested to be considered as a deterministic dynamical process. In this work, for the diagnosis of Gas Insulated Transformer(GITr), four different types of specimen were fabricated as a model of the possible defects that might possibly cause its sudden failures such as turn to turn insulation, inter coil insulation, free moving particle and protrusion. For this purpose, these defects are introduced into the Gas Insulated Transformer(GITr) mock-up and experimental investigations have been carried out in order to analyze the related Partial Discharge(PD) patterns by means of both Phase Resolved Partial Discharge Analysis(PRPDA) and Chaotic Analysis(CAPD) respectively and then their comparisons are made systematically.
