Partial discharge (PD) detection plays a major role in the life time assessment of liquid insulation in power transformers. Many research works are being carried out to replace conventional mineral oil insulation in transformers by vegetable oils. It is necessary to understand the PD characteristics of vegetable oils before recommending them as an alternate for mineral oil. In this paper, the breakdown strength and PD characteristics of palm and corn oil were investigated in both unaged and thermally aged conditions. Laboratory experiments were performed as per IEC test procedures. PD signals were measured using wide band detection system. Phase resolved PD pattern of vegetable oils and mineral oil were compared. Effect of increase in voltage stress on the PD pattern of palm and corn oil were studied. Time and frequency domain analysis of PD pulses at needle-plane electrode configuration was carried out. Statistical analysis of PD pattern i.e. skewness and shape parameter variations with respect to applied thermal stress were also carried out. From the results, it is observed that palm and corn oils have better breakdown strength and PD characteristics even under long-term thermal stress and hence they can be used for power transformer applications.

Partial discharge(PD) test for simulated insulation defects of used hydro generator stator winding was conducted to analyze the PD Parameters. Simulated insulation defects are classified by 5 types corona, slot, internal, multi and aging defect. Phase resolved partial discharge, statistical parameter (skewness, kurtosis), PD magnitude as a function of the test voltage(Q-V curve) and PD magnitude change under test voltage for 2 minutes are used as PD parameters. The analysis of PD parameters by 4 types are proved to be useful methods. In particular, PD parameter characteristics of aging defect could help to assess the aging condition of stator winding because aging defect has more weak insulation strength than other insulation defects : PD distribution is wide and flat, PD rises rapidly near $0^{\circ}\;and\;180^{\circ}$ and Q-V curve rises sharply and then gently drops.

This paper describes that PD sources in GIS were recognized using fuzzy algorithm proposed in this paper. PD sources were classified by four states and PD signals were expressed by $\phi$-q distribution. $\phi$-N distribution and Q-N distribution. Then statistical operators were extracted from each distributions. As a result, the rate of recognizing PD sources in GIS using fuzzy algorithm proposed in this paper was 93[%].

This paper presents the design of a proportional-integral (PI)-proportional-derivative (PD) position controller without using a speed controller in motor drive systems. Unlike the existing PI-PD position controller design methods, the proposed controller is designed by reducing the entire position control system to a second-order transfer function. Thus, the gain values for the PI-PD position controller can be determined easily by a given bandwidth of the position controller. The PI-PD position controller designed by the proposed method is adopted for position control in an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system to confirm the validity of the proposed design method. The effectiveness of the proposed design method is confirmed through experiments.

PD(Partial Discharge) signal emitted from PD sources has their intrinsic features in the region of time and frequency STFT(Short Time Fourier Transform) shows time-frequency distribution at the same time. 2-Dimensional matrices(33$\times$77) from STFT for PD pulse signals are a good feature vectors and can be decreased in dimension by wavelet 2D data compression technique. Decreased feature vectors(13$\times$24) were used as inputs of Back-propagation ANN(Artificial Neural Network) for discrimination of Multi-PD sources(air discharge sources(3), surface discharge(1)). They are a good feature vectors for discriminating Multi-PD sources in the air.

We investigated the effects of Pd impurities on cube-textures in cold rolled and recrystallized PtPd tapes The sample were made from Pt$_{1-x}Pd_x$ alloys (x from 0 to0.34) by rolling at low temperature. The thickness of the tapes were about 100 ${\mu}$m. The PtPd[111] pole figures of X-ray Diffraction for all the samples indicated similar deformed textures. But the recrystallized textures after annealing showed that a better cube texture was formed in the sample of larger x. The final textures were sensitive to annealing time and temperature when x was increased.

In this paper, we design the optimal PD control system which has the robust performance. This PD control system is designed by applying genetic algorithm (GA) to the determination of proportional gain KP and derivative gain KD that are given by PD servo controller, to make the output of plant follow the output of reference model optimally. These proportional and derivatibe gains are simultaneously optimized in the search domain guaranteeing the robust performance of system. And, this PD control system is compared with $\mu$ -synthesis control system for the robust performance. The PD control system designed by the proposed method has not only the robust performance but also the better command tracking performance than that of the $\mu$ -synthesis control system. The effectiveness of this control system is verified by computer simulation.

Thermally evaporated Pd films on substrate were hydrogenated upto 1 bar of hydrogen gas at room temperature. Temperature dependence hange of electrical resistivity on Pd films is examined in the thickness range between $60{\AA}$ and $990{\AA}$. Resistivity of Pd is fitted well with Bloch-$Gr{\ddot{u}}neisen$ formula. Debye temperatures of Pd films are about 254 K, which are 20 K lower than that of bulk Pd. Debye temperature is not sensitive to film thickness change. Temperature of substrate during evaporation changes temperature dependence of resistivity of films much. Optical phonon contribution increases with decreasing temperature of PdHx.

본 논문은 몰드 변압기의 PD(Partial Discharge) 발생 여부를 판단하기 위해 Wavelet Transform을 이용한 PD 신호의 De-Noising에 관한 연구이다. PD는 변압기 고장사고 중 가장 판단하기 어렵고, 예방 및 진단 시 적은 항목의 검사 항목을 통해 관리되어진다. 따라서 보다 정확하게 PD 발생 여부를 판단하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 몰드 변압기의 PD 신호를 측정하고, 취득한 신호를 Wavelet Transform을 이용한 De-Noising을 수행하고 몰드 변압기의 PD 발생여부에 대해 확인하는 방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

Ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB), narrow bandwidth (single frequency), and a combination of both technologies have been studied for the ultra-high frequency (UHF) partial discharge (PD) monitoring system as a detection scheme. We have experimentally compared those detection methods using a mock-up of 362 kV class single phase gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) and a stable PD source. A rolling-ball type PD cell that produces PDs of about 10 pC, is placed at one end of the GIS. An internal UHF PD sensor was attached several meters away from the PD source. The PD spectrum was measured up to 3 GHz. A useable bandwidth of more than 1 GHz was used to measure UWB signals from the PD. To simulate the narrow bandwidth scheme a bandwidth of 100 kHz centered at several different frequencies was used.
