Partial Discharge (PD) is a physical phenomenon, which causes defects and damages to the insulation. This phenomenon is regarded as the most important source of fault and defect in power transformers. Therefore, methods of high speed and precision are considered of special importance for the maintenance of transformers in localization of the origin of partial discharge. In this paper, the transformer winding is first modeled in a transient state by using RLC ladder network and multiconductor transmission line (MTL) models. The parameters of the two models were calculated by Ansoft Maxwell software, and the simulations were performed by Matlab software. Then, the PD pulses were applied to the models with different widths of pulses. With regard to the fact that the signals received after the application of PD had a variable frequency nature over time, and based on the wavelet transform and signal energy, a new method was presented for the localization of PD. Ultimately; the mentioned method was implemented on a 20 kV winding distribution transformer. Then, the performances of the models used in this paper, including RLC and MTL models, were compared in different frequency bands for the correct distinction of partial discharge location.

On-line monitoring system(OMS) has been developed for the pumped storage generator/motor The OMS is applied to diagnosis of the PD(partial discharge) activity of stator insulation, the shorted-turn of rotor winding and the variation of the air-gap between stator and rotor. The OMS consists of DAS(data acquisition system), main server system, gateway and display PC. The DAS measures the PD, the shorted-turn and air-gap from three sensors installed on the generator/motor. The gateway controls the data which sent by DAS. The main server system saves the data, analyzes the data and conducts the diagnostic algorithm. The display PC shows the diagnostic results of partial discharge, shorted-turn and air-gap. Field tests were conducted using PDA(partial discharge analyzer). The results of the OMS and PDA measurements can be directly correlated with normalized quantity number(NQN), PD magnitude(Qm) and PD pattern.

This paper presents an investigation of the phase-resolved partial discharge (PD) pattern of PET (Poly Ethylene Telephthalate) films with carbon black particles. The phase-resolved PD pattern and statistical parameter from PET samples according to the number of included semiconductor particles were measured. The measurement system consisted of a conventional PD detector using a digital signal processing technique. The partial discharge patterns of the PET films that include the semiconductor particles were investigated to simulate an actual situation that may exist in the cable. In addition, difference of PD patterns between semiconducting particles in PET films and artificial voids was studied. The relationship between the numbers of semiconductor particles in PET films was discussed through the difference of Ψ-q-n distribution and statistical analysis.

Gas insulated switchgear(GIS) is an important equipment in a substation. It is highly desirable to measure a partial discharge(PD) in GIS which is a symptom before insulation breakdown occurs. The issue is that the PD signal is weak and sensitive to external noise. In this paper, the algorithm for detection of PD in GIS using wavelet transform is proposed. The wavelet transform provides a direct quantitative measure of spectral content, "dynamic spectrum", in the time-frequency domain. The recommended mother wavelet is 'Daubechies' wavelet. 'db4', the most commonly applied mother wavelet in the power quality analysis, can be used most properly in disturbance phenomena which occurs rapidly for a short time. Through the procedure of wavelet transform, noise extraction and reconstruction, the signal is Analyzed to determine the magnitude of PD in GIS. In experimental results, we can know that partial discharge is exactly detected in combination of Dl and D2 using wavelet transform.transform.

The correlation between shape of electrical trees and partial discharge(PD) pulses in low density polyethylene(LDPE) were discussed. We observed growth feature of electrical tree by using optical microscope. On the basis of experimental results of measurements of trees occurring in the needle-plane arrangement with needle shape void and without needle shape void , statistical quantities are derived, which are relevant to PD pulse amplitude and phase. The PD quantities detected by partial discharge detector. we were analyzed q-n distribution pattern and $\psi$ -q-n distribution pattern. In this experiment, electrical trees in the needle-plane arrangement with needle shape void propagated branch type tree and in the needle-plane arrangement without needle shape void propagated bush type tree

We developed a novel method of partial discharge(PD) location based on the fact that the waveform of PD signal propagate along the GIB (Gas Insulated Bus) is composed of several modes of electromagnetic wave with different group velocities and cut-off frequencies. From the PD waveform, measured at a broadband PD sensor attached on the GIB, we could derive arrival time and frequency components of different modes using the short term Fourier transform or etc. After the group velocities of different modes are calculated, the location of the PD source could be estimated. To show the effectiveness of this new locating method in a real on site application, we used this method to locate the position of a PD source at a 76 m long 345 kV GIB substation. The estimated location of the PD source using the method proposed above was in good agreement with the actual location found from the inspection result of internal component in the GIB with 2.4% of the estimation error.

On-line partial discharge(PD) monitoring system has been developed to monitor in operating large motor stator insulations. This system makes use of remote diagnosis techniques for the evaluation of PD activity in the control center of thermal power plant. This system can be remotely accessed via a modem to build database, analyze status and interpret the pattern of PD activity. A personnel computer is generally connected to ten motors to continuous measurement of the PD activity. The test data can be easily interpreted by a maintenance staff. For assessing the condition of stator winding in motors, this system ensures a reliable measurement and accurate estimation. Capacitive couplers used for on-line PD measurement have been 80pF. The maximum PD magnitude(Qmax), PD pattern and normalized quantity number(NQN) were performed by this system.
