A comparative study of the PD pattern analysis based on PRPD and CAPD for the diagnosis of Gas Insulated Transformer

GITr(Gas Insulated Transformer) 내부에 발생되는 PD 신호의 패턴분석을 위한 PRPD와 CAPD 적용 결과 비교

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 PD phenomena is suggested to be considered as a deterministic dynamical process. In this work for the diagnosis of 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 GITr mock-up and experimental investigations have been carried out in order to analyze the related PD patterns by means of both PRPDA and CAPD respectively and then their comparisons are made systematically.
