This paper presents compact low frequency ultra-wide band (UWB) sensor design and study of the partial discharge diagnosis by sensing electromagnetic pulse emitted from the partial discharge source with the newly designed UWB sensor. In this study, we designed a new type of compact low frequency UWB sensor based on microstrip antenna technology to detect both the low frequency and high frequency band of the partial discharge signal. Experiments of offline PD testing on medium voltage (22.9kV) underground cable mention the comparative results with the traditional HFCT as a reference sensor in the laboratory. In the series of comparative tests, the calibration signal injection test provided with the conventional IEC 60270 method and high voltage injection testing are included.

We studied partial discharge detection by sensing electromagnetic waves emitted from the partial discharge source in an HV Rotating Machine using a UWB sensor. In this study, we design a new type of compact low frequency UWB sensor based on micro-strip technology. We also perform many experiments of offline and dismantled testing compared with the existing HFCT on stator winding of the HV generator. We mention the detailed design of a new compact UWB sensor along with the time domain PRPD pattern and frequency domain results of partial discharge in the stator winding of a 6.6kV rotating machine by offline testing performed in a laboratory.

It is very important to discriminate noises such as air corona in measuring on-site partial discharges (PD). Therefore, in order to investigate the possibility of separating PD(partial discharge) and noises through the pulse analysis, pulse shapes measured by a resistive sensor and a HFCT were analyzed and PA(pulse analysis) were performed. For the purpose, the HFPD detection and PA system has been developed. Also void discharges and air corona were adopted as the artificial defect and noises, respectively.

This study deals with various neural network algorithms for the on-site partial discharge pattern recognition. For the purpose, the pattern recognition has been carried out on partial discharge data for the typical artificial defect using 9 different neural network models. In order to enhance on-site applicability, artificial defects were installed in the insulation joint box of extra-high voltage xLPE cables and partial discharges were measured by use of the metal foil sensor and a HFCT as a sensor. As the result, it is found out that the accuracy of pattern recognition could be enhanced through the application of the Sigmoid function, the Momentum algorithm and the Genetic algorism on the artificial neural networks. Although Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) algorism showed the best result among 9 neural network algorisms, it is thought that more researches on others would be needed in consideration of on-site application.

배전 케이블 부분방전 측정에서는 외부노이즈, 코로나가 동반되어 검출되고 있다. 특히, 단말부의 부분방전측정에서는 부분방전 현상이 크게 발생하여 측정될 경우 다른 상에서도 유입되어 검출되는데 코로나나 외부의 노이즈가 크게 유입될 경우 진단의 어려움이 있다. 더불어 각 상의 위상을 직접검출이 어려운 송배전 케이블의 단말에서는 유기된 신호의 상을 찾는데도 어려움을 주고 있다. 이러한 문제를 반영하여 현장 측정이 용의하도록 이동형 포터블 진단장치를 개발하였다. 3개의 HFCT 센서를 사용하여 3상을 동시 측정할 수 있도록 하였다. 전원 분압 트리거 회로와 전류 변류 트리거 회로를 사용하여 위상 분석을 병행하였다. 실선로의 배전 케이블 부분방전 진단의 효율적 수행을 위해 개발된 본 장비를 현장 적용하였으며 내장된 PRPD 분석법이 가능하였으며 S/W 노이즈 게이팅을 적용하여 다른상에서 유기되는 신호를 제거하여 진단결과의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있었다.

To decrease and remove of much noises that is detected in PD (partial discharge) measuring test. we forced on detection of those. We made W-LC filter for measuring PD. which adapted that to field test. We tested after design laboratory circumstances like field line. and then the phase change properties of detected signal in UHF sensor were measured by Lemke Probe and oscilloscope (TDS-3054. Tektronix). Eventually we checked decrement of noises from experimental result. Also from experimental result at the joint box of 22.9[kV] distribution line. we obtained reasonable data which enable noises to decrease. Hereafter those results will be adapted at ultra-high voltage for trouble prevention and on-line cable watch. diagnosis of those.

Power cables installed in domestic factories or underground can cause accidents depending on the manufacturing process, installation, and environmental conditions during use. When an accident occurs in a power cable, it can cause enormous economic loss and social confusion. Hence, the importance of preventive management of the cable through diagnosis is increasing to prevent it. Therefore, in this paper, a diagnostic sample cable was produced by simulating a part that could be a problem due to the installation, manufacturing defects, or deterioration of cables that can occur in the field. Dielectric loss Tangent (tan 𝛿; TD), and Partial Discharge(PD) tests were performed. Partial discharge and AC (60Hz) withstand voltage equipment using High-Frequency Current Transformer (HFCT) were applied After applying a VLF (Very Low Frequency) power supply with a frequency of 0.1Hz was applied. As a result, B and C phase defect samples at a 2.0U₀ voltage through the VLF could measure the internal partial discharge in the A-phase normal sample cable from the noise at a 0.5U₀ to 2.0U₀ voltage. In addition, the 1.5U₀ voltage was measured through the AC (60Hz) withstand voltage equipment of the commercial frequency to verify its effectiveness. Partial discharge in the run-off state was measured at a voltage of 1.0U₀, and there was a risk when installing the equipment. AC power equipment showed a difficulty of movement by volume or weight. The diagnostic method, through the VLF of the quadrant state, revealed its safety and effectiveness.

실선로 전력 케이블의 부분방전 측정은 주위 전력설비의 신호들이 혼합되면 정확한 부분방전 진단이 어려운 면이 있다. 본 논문에서는 15kV급 EPR 난연 케이블을 대상으로 거리에 따른 부분방전 신호를 검출 및 감쇄 정도 확인 시험을 통하여 발생 위치 추정 기준을 마련하고자 한다. 이를 위해 길이 500m의 EPR 난연 케이블을 제작하여 모의 선로를 구성하였고, IEC60270에 적합한 Calibrator를 이용하여 신호를 인가한 후 HFCT 센서를 사용하여 일정한 거리를 두고 방전 신호를 검출하고, Techimp사(社)의 PDBASE와 OMICRON사(社)의 MPD600을 이용하여 부분방전 신호를 분류하였다. 전압 인가 지점에서 단계적인 거리증가에 따른 부분방전 신호 감쇄 현상 및 일정 길이(300[m])에 대한 주입 신호별 감도 측정을 분석하였다. 본 논문의 시험대상인 15kV급 EPR 난연 케이블은 원자력 발전소의 배전선으로 사용하기 위해 제작된 것으로, 포설 후 절연체 내에 B/D가 발생했다고 가정했을 때, PD신호의 검출 및 대략적인 위치의 추정은 안전을 최우선시 하는 원자력 발전 및 배전 부문에서 주요한 문제로 부각 될 것이다.

Many precedent investigations hate been made for the reliable assessment of the insulation state of large power apparatus for which partial discharge detection is one of tile plausible way. In this work, experimental investigations have been carried out to make the comparison on the PD(partial discharge) pattern analysis related to the five different types of artificial defects such as SFMP (Single Free Moving Particle), MFMP (Multi Free Moving Particle), Void, CFP (Conductor-Fixed Protrusion), EP (Enclosure Protrusion). For each PD pattern, PD detection has been done by tee different types of PD sensors such as HFCT(High Frequency Current Transformer), AE(Acoustic Emission) and UHF(Ultra High Frequency). And, in addition, frequency spectrum by the UHF sensor has been also made for each defect respectively. As a result, it is observed that the possibility of obtaining PD pattern based on PRPD(Phase Resolved Partial Discharge) in connection with the defects tinder investigation is dependant on the type of the sensor while the spectrum analysis is always successful to be achieved for every defect. Therefore, it could be suggested that the nature of PD source can be identified more distinctively when the conventional PRPDA is combined with spectrum analysis.
