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.

Three anode configurations of six-jet, cone-jet and cylindrical-jet are tested for their analytical performance under power mode operation. The effect of pressure, power and gas flow rate on atomic absorption signals have been studied. The increase of atomic absorption signal of sample element is observed at a fixed pressure in all configurations as the gas flow rate increase up to 300-600 seem, and as the power dissipated in the glow discharge cell increase. The lower the pressure is in the glow discharge cell at a fixed discharge power and argon flow rate, the greater the absorbance of sample element is. The optimum conditions are taken from these data and a calibration curve of Cu in low-alloy steel sample is obtained. In this calibration curve, six-jet configuration shows the best analytical results varies as the sample element.

In this study, a relationship between DC discharge and the radiated electromagnetic waves is investigated by measuring electromagnetic waves using a biconical antenna and a spectrum analyzer. The characteristics of frequency spectrum ofthe radiated electromagnetic waves was measured at the atmospheric pressure in Liquid Nitrogen $(LN_2)$ during partial discharges in nonuniform and uniform electric field depend on positive DC power. From this experiment results, it was confirmed that when partial discharge was produced in Liquid Nitrogen and Air, the signal of partial discharge was detected by this experiment and the analysis method. It is considered thatthese results obtained from this investigation may be used as fundamental data for diagnosis and prediction of insulation on the equipments ultra-high voltage, superconducting and cryogenic applications.

The optogalvanic effect is proposed and demonstrated as a technique for Penning ionization in a discharge of mixtures of metal vapors and rare gases. The gadolinium and argon mixture is used as a prototype. The lowest metastable of argon, 3P$_2$ (ls$\_$5/ in Paschen notation) at 93144 cm$\^$-1/, is within kT from the excited states of Gd ion. Thus Penning ionization occurs to an excited states of the ion. This process strongly alters the optogalvanic signal and has its own signatures.

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.

The partial-discharge(PD) is accompanied by physical and chemical phenomena, such as heat, light, noise, gas, chemical transformation, electric current, and electromagnetic radiation. The PD can be detected by measuring one of these changes. Although some techniques are employed in this purpose, several obstacles interfere with an on-line measurement. Now a fiber-optic sensor for detecting ultrasonics is suggested for the on line measurement system with high accuracy. In this paper, an optical fiber sensor utilizing the principal of Mach-Zehnder interferometer was proposed to detect the discharge signal.

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.

This paper proposes an earthing system without ground connection. As a Green IT Environmental Solution, Internal-external surge and other unnecessary electric currents are converted into energy and through a discharge the signal is reduced. It's a structure that discharges through a neutral electric transformer. The results show that the electric potential rising of the earthing system proposed in this paper are approximately below the half and the discharge currents increased approximately 9 times when compared to existent earthing systems. This earthing system is economical, easy to install and can solve environmental contamination.

This paper describes measurement and diagnosis methods for electromagnetic wave using a VHF(Very High Frequency) antenna. In the laboratory partial discharges are generated on a needle-plate and a plate-plate configuration. The detected electromagnetic wave is analyzed by FFT(Fast Fourier Transform). We propose a methode to classify creeping partial discharge and corona partial discharge that are detected in three frequency bands.
