The integrity of the gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is vital to the safety of an entire power grid. However, there are some limitations on the techniques of detecting and diagnosing partial discharge (PD) induced by insulation defects in GIS. This paper proposes a joint electro-chemical detection method to resolve the problems of incomplete PD data source and also investigates a new unique fault diagnosis method to enhance the reliability of data processing. By employing ultra-high frequency method for online monitoring and the chemical method for detecting SF6 decomposition offline, the acquired data can form a more complete interpretation of PD signals. By utilizing DS evidence theory, the diagnostic results with tests on the four typical defects show the validity of the new fault diagnosis system. With higher accuracy and lower computation cost, the present research provides a promising way to make a more accurate decision in practical application.

In this paper, a relationship between AC discharge progress and the radiated electromagnetic waves was investigated by measuring electromagnetic waves using a biconical antenna and a spectrum analyzer. The frequency spectrum of the radiated electromagnetic waves were measured at the atmospheric pressure in liquid nitrogen($LN_2$) during partial discharges progressed by AC high voltage in nonuniform electric field. Front the results of this study, a new method was introduced for measurement and analysis of the radiated electromagnetic waves with discharge progress in $LN_2$ Besides. according to the consideration of the mutual relation between frequency spectrum of the radiated electromagnetic waves and discharge progress, it was confirmed that detecting partial discharge and estimating discharge progress could be possible. It is considered that these results obtained from this investigation may be used as fundamental data for diagnosis and prediction of electric insulations about superconducting and cryogenic power equipments.

Power capacitors are highly reliable equipment due to their completely enclosed configuration. Aging diagnosis system using partial discharge(PD) and acoustic emission(AE) is being highlighted as a research area for degradation of power capacitors. Their dielectric strength can be however reduced due to some stresses such as over-voltage or thermal degradation of the insulation material during their long period of operation. In this paper, it has been developed to express the AE of the EVENT(average amplitude) and HIT(pulse count) according to the source location. And real time measurement of PD signals for aging diagnosis of power capacitors.

The bushing for high voltage and large and power should endure weight of itself and force of pushing from contact with circuit breaker. Like this, epoxy mold bushing has to be strong without fault. However, the external circumstances and internal factors was caused by partial discharge, flashover and dielectric breakdown. Therefore, to remove external factor of defect and to prevent the internal cracks and cavity generated from the contraction on interface of Cu-Epoxy, we should form semi-conductive layer on Cu bar by carbon. Then, the PD properties and the insulation qualities of epoxy mold type bushing was able to improved by roles of cushions for the direction of diameter and by effects fo natural sliding like as separated from conductor for the direction of length. So, in this work, we could prove the method of semi-conductive layer in making the long conductor.

Recently many researches on the diagnosis of stator winding insulation for large rotating machines have been developed sine the 1970s. Capacitive coupler has been the most widely used sensor for on-line partial discharge(PD) in rotating machines. The 105 [pF] ceramic coupler(CC) has been developed to continuously measure the PD activity in operating motor stator windings. This paper presents frequency characteristics and laboratory test to compare traditional 80 [pF] epoxy-mica coupler(EMC) and 105 [pF] CC for PD measurement in 6.6 [kV] stator windings.

In recent the on-line partial discharge (PD) measurement using sensors, such as EMC, SSC, RTD and RFCT, as an indicator of stator winding insulation condition has been developed. RFCT sensor was placed arounding a grounding lead of surge capacitor to detecting PD. Trend of PD magnitude/phase angle/pulse number over time are useful parameter to diagnosis aging state. We have developed Radio Frequency Current Transformer(RFCT) sensor which is suitable for PD diagnostic measurement in 6.6kV rotating machines. In this paper, we describe the characteristics of RFCT sensor, such as frequency and PD magnitude using 6.6 kV model stator winding in Lab.

In this thesis, the silicone filler with a sample size of 0~75 phr and void size of 2~4.5 mm is prepared in order to diagnose the defect of void which exists in widely used insulation material, silicone rubber. In this silicone rubber sample, electrodes are connected and whilst the voltage changes, applied voltage 7 kV~9 kV is increased constantly over time and discharge quantity, discharge frequency and applied voltage (T-QNV) were measured. The discharge quantity of the applied voltage (VQ) is measured to estimate inception voltage and extinction voltage. In addition, under the condition of maintaining constant applied voltage, discharge quantity and discharge frequency (QN) are measured, and its characteristics are analyzed.

In this paper, properties of pattern using LBG (Linde-Buzo-Gray) Algorithm was explored including the exactness of K-means algorithm and process time of EM (Expectation Maximization) algorithm in order to develop analysis algorithm of partial discharge pattern in a cable using acoustic data analysis system. Partial discharge was measured by generating inner fault due to lamination of XLPE which is used for cable insulation material. Discharge pattern was analysed by changing the number of swarm article to 2, 4, and 6 in order to interpret swarm structure and properties.

The short-term AC breakdown strength of laminated polypropylene insulating Paper (PPLP) has been studied for cold dielectric of high temperature superconductivity power cables. The design and operating conditions of the electrode system for studying of short-term breakdown strength of one-layer and multi-layer PPLP samples are discussed in liquid nitrogen(LN2) state. The influence of various operating factors (geometry and dimension of electrodes, speed of tested voltage, thickness of test sample) on the value of short-term AC breakdown strength at cryogenic temperature has been established.
