This paper deals with the characteristics of partial discharge (PD) for the purpose of a condition based maintenance (CBM) of gas insulated switchgears (GIS) in power equipment. Four types of electrode systems such as a protrusion on enclosure (POE), a particle on spacer (POS), a free particle (FP) and a Floating were designed and fabricated. PD pulses were measured using UHF sensor with a frequency range of 300 MHz~1.4 GHz and a DAQ with a sampling rate of 250 MS/s. Discharge inception voltage (DIV), discharge extinction voltage (DEV), and phase resolved partial discharge (PRPD) were analyzed depending on electrode systems. The average DIV in the POS was 28.8 kV. It was about 1.7 times higher than that in the FP, which was the lowest value of 17.2 kV. The FP shuffled and jumped at the applied voltage of 23.5 kV. Over 95% of PD pulses in the POE were generated in the negative polarity ($181^{\circ}{\sim}360^{\circ}$) of applied voltage. The results showed the phase (${\Phi}$)-magnitude (dBm) of PD pulses by UHF sensor, a cluster was formed separately depending on electrode systems.

본 논문에서는 XLPE 고체 절연체내의 부분방전(partical discharge:PD)발생 및 진전에 따른 라 방사되는 UHF 대역의 방사전자파를 측정, 분석하고 PD진전에 따른 그 스펙트럼의 특성을 연구 하였다. PD를 모의하기 위해 침을 XLPE 절연체내에 삽입하고 그 사이에 보이드층을 만들었다. 고체절연체의 열화를 고려하여 일정시간 동안 일정 전압을 유지하고 이때 발생되는 방사전자파를 EMI, EMC 안테나(EMCO-3142)와 Spectrum analyzer로 측정, 분석하였다.

This paper was studied electromagnetic field distribution and damping of PD(Partial Discharge) signal in GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear). Cut-off frequency of electromagnetic wave propagation modes were computed, electromagnetic field distribution of propagation modes in GIS by FEM(Finite Element Method) were simulated and simulated damping characteristic of electromagnetic waves in GIS by EMTP(Electromagnetic Transient Program) when generated PD pulse. Frequency band of $TE_{mn}/TM_{mn}$ modes were determinated by simulation results of electromagnetic field distribution and were discussed optimal position of UHF sensor from this results. Equivalent circuit was used to simulate signal damping of PD pulse in GIS by EMTP and compared with measured results in laboratory of KERI.

This paper was provided to help in detecting defects in power transformer. For this purpose, a partial discharge cell was designed and manufactured as a discharge source to simulate particle defected paper-oil insulation in power transformer. Experimental set-up for measuring PD signals was described. Magnitude of electromagnetic wave signals and corresponding amount of apparent discharge were measured simultaneously against phase of applied voltage to the discharge cell. Frequency range and pattern of PRPD(Phase Resolved Partial Discharge) of partial discharge signals were examined and analyzed. The results will be contributed to build the defect database of power transformer and to decrease the substation faults.

Recently diagnostic techniques have been investigated to detect a partial discharge(PD) associated with a dielectric material defect in a high-voltage electrical apparatus. Among the PD measuring method, detecting electromagnetic wave generated by PD is one of the most effective method because PD radiates wide frequency of electromagnetic wave up to UHF. From the above points of view, we have investigated the polarization and distance characteristics of electromagnetic wave radiated by an insertion of solid insulators between needle-plane electrodes in the air. According to the magnitude of applied voltage, the frequency spectrum of radiated electromagnetic waves were increased about under 100(MHz), compared with background noise. The electromagnetic wave magnitude is attenuated about 4$\sim$7.6[dB] at the point 3[m] away from PD.

This paper describes the characteristics of electromagnetic wave propagation in power transformer. A transformer which is similar to 154 kV single phase on-site transformer unit was provided for the purpose of the experiment. The 12 dielectric windows on the transformer enclosure to install UHF (ultra high frequency) sensors and the full scale mock ups of winding and the core were also equipped in the transformer. Every sensors to be installed to the transformer was tested and verified whether they show same characteristics or not before the experiment. A discharge gap which was used as a PD (partial discharge) source moved to several necessary locations in the transformer to simulate dielectric defects. Propagation times of electromagnetic wave signal from PD source to sensors decided by the routes of both reflection phenomenon and diffraction phenomenon were compared each other. The experimental results showed propagation route of the PD signal makes an effect on the frequency spectrum of front part of the signal and the magnitude of the signal and propagation time of the signal when the signal is captured on the sensor.

In this paper, oil-paper samples composed of transformer windings were used to investigate the insulation degradation process subjected to partial discharge (PD), with artificial defects inside to simulate the PD induced insulation degradation. To determine appropriate test voltages, the breakdown time obtained through a group of accelerated electrical degradation tests under high voltages was firstly fitted by two-parameter Weibull model to acquire the average breakdown time, which was then applied to establish the inverse power law life model to choose advisable test voltages. During the electrical degradation process, PD signals were synchronously detected by an ultra-high frequency (UHF) sensor from inception to breakdown. For PD analysis, the whole degradation process was divided into ten stages, and chaos theory was introduced to analyze the variation of three chaotic parameters with the development of electrical degradation, namely the largest Lyapunov exponent, correlation dimension and Komogorov entropy of PD amplitude time series. It is shown that deterministic chaos of PD is confirmed during the oil-paper degradation process, and the obtained results provide a new effective tool for the diagnosis of degradation of oil-paper insulation subjected to PD.

In this paper, we developed HPF (high pass filter) consisted of lumped LC components to decrease the noises that are detected in PD (partial discharge) measuring test, and adapted it to field test. We tested under laboratory circumstances like the fields, and measured the phase change properties of detected signal in UHF sensor with Lemke probe and oscilloscope (TDS-3054, Tektronix).

Partial Discharge is radiated in the form of electromagnetic wave from variable sources. It can be taken by UHF antenna and the signal pulse from that has a nonstationary time-series which can be evaluated with several methods. One of them is STFT(short time fourier transform) processed in frequency region. Statistical results using STFT show the possibility being able to discriminate between several PD sources.

산업현장에서 많이 사용되고 있는 전력기기에 결함이 발생하면 치명적인 사고로 진전되어 큰 경제적, 인적 손실을 가져온다. 본 논문은 GIS에 사용되는 절연가스인 $SF_6$의 압력 변화에 따른 부분방전을 모의하고, 발생되는 부분방전 신호를 절연 진단 방법 중 하나인 UHF법을 이용하여 부분방전 시 방사되는 방사전자파의 스펙트럼을 분석하고, 접지로 흐르는 방전 전류를 측정하여 방전진전 과정을 관측하였다. 본 연구는 GIS 및 $SF_6$ 가스를 절연물로 사용하는 전력설비에서 내부압력 변화 시 금속이 물질에 의해 발생되는 절연파괴 사고의 예방진단에 유용한 자료가 되리라 판단된다.
