We measured the optogalvanic signal and discharge voltage-current(V-I) curve under the two different discharge conditions with different buffer gases, Ar, and Ne. When the Gd was used as a cathode material at low discharge current less than 10mA, a significant change was observed in the current-voltage curve. Time resolved optogalvanic signal measurement were measured by the diode laser of which wavelengths correspond to metastable transition line of these gases (Ar, Ne). From these measurements, we found that the characteristics of the V-I curve strongly depend on the Penning ionization process.

This paper describes a diagnosis of power transformers by on-line detection of ultrasonic signals. Partial discharge in power transformer generates ultrasonic signals. The trend of the ultrasonic signal number can be measured when partial discharge is generated in HV Winding. The trend of the ultrasonic signal number could easily be distinguished by taking moving average. The insulation failure due to partial discharge in transformers can be predicted based in the trend analysis of the number of ultrasonic signals caused by partial discharge.

Out of the defects occurred in a transformer, the cases of protrusion and surface discharge were simulated by using needle-plane and IEC(B) electrode. The waveform and frequency characteristics of ultrasonic signals due to partial discharge occurred at each electrode were analyzed. And then, the ultrasonic signal characteristics from the partial discharge due to the two kinds of defect were compared. As a result, in the case of the protrusion and surface discharge, the waveforms were similar, but the frequency spectra were different.

Acoustic partial discharge detection has been used on GIS testing for more than 10 years. Sensitivities show that most of critical defect types can be detected with a reasonable signal-to-noise ratio. The paper reports on acoustic partial discharge detection comparable to sensitive electrical PD(partial discharge) measuring method.

The chaotic characteristics of partial discharge(PD), may seems to be stochastic and merely random, were investigated using the method to discern between chaos and random signal, e.g. correlation integral, Lyapunov characteristic exponents and etc. For the purpose of obtaining experimental data, computer aided partial discharge detecting system was used. While this method is very different from typical statistical analysis from the point of view of a nonlinear analysis, it can provide better interpretable criterion according to the time evolution with a degradation process in the same type insulating system.

In this study, we detected electromagnetic waves generated in an enclosed switchgear and applied various statistical methods for detecting signals. We calculated the various statistical factors via the appropriate statistical methods. Further, we used these statistics to recognize the characteristics for each pattern by identifying the partial discharge in each case for normal, proceeding and abnormal states. The characteristics of electromagnetic wave patterns occurred in various states at electric power facilities and were used as an output variable for more efficient diagnosis. In this paper, we confirmed that the pattern of partial discharge signal can be used as one of the factors used to analyze the insulation state and to consider while estimating diagnosis of insulation states by recognizing the signal pattern to intelligence. We will utilize the proposed diagnosis method to determine insulation degradation states.

Gas insulated switchgear(GIS) is an important equipment in a substation. It is highly desirable to measure a partial discharge(PD) in GIS which is a symptom before insulation breakdown occurs. The issue is that the PD signal is weak and sensitive to external noise. In this paper, the algorithm for detection of PD in GIS using wavelet transform is proposed. The wavelet transform provides a direct quantitative measure of spectral content, "dynamic spectrum", in the time-frequency domain. The recommended mother wavelet is 'Daubechies' wavelet. 'db4', the most commonly applied mother wavelet in the power quality analysis, can be used most properly in disturbance phenomena which occurs rapidly for a short time. Through the procedure of wavelet transform, noise extraction and reconstruction, the signal is Analyzed to determine the magnitude of PD in GIS. In experimental results, we can know that partial discharge is exactly detected in combination of Dl and D2 using wavelet transform.transform.

On-line monitoring of fault discharge is an important approach for indicating the condition of electrical insulation of stator winding in high voltage motor. In this paper, several key aspects of on-line monitoring system are discussed, involving the characteristics of fault discharge of stator winding in high voltage motor, spectrum analysis of four simulation fault signals, feature extraction of internal fault discharge from apply voltage to breakdown. The study of the partial discharge activities allows to highlight the ageing stage in the winding fault under test. During the life of the winding insulation fault, the shape of PD signal change relating to the ageing stage. The ageing of stator winding insulation fault of high voltage motor is investigated based on the characteristics of partial discharge pulse distribution and statistical parameters, such as maximum, skewness and kurtosis using discrete wavelet trnasform coefficients.

Remote monitoring partial discharge sensor, equipping with hybrid filter combining optical and electrical noise reduction capabilities and with signal integrating function to calculate total arc energy, was investigated. Hybrid filter showed insensitivity to fluorescent and incandescent lamps under simulated distribution panel condition. Signal integrating function showed selective detection capability corresponding to different arc energy levels, while convention arc sensor had difficulty to discriminate arc energy level due to bursty arc waveform and peak level detection characteristics. The sensor showed possibility for application to remote monitoring partial discharge sensor, since it detected arc energy level corresponding to normal open and close discharge in low voltage 100A MCCB at 2m distance.

This paper deals with the multiresolution analysis of wavelet transform for partial discharge(PD).PD is an electrical discharge that only partically bridges the insulation performance of electrical equipment in high voltage. PD signal is very sensitive and difficult to suppress strong noises such as narrow-band radio frequency noise and random noise. In recently, wavelet transform has become a powerful tool to analysis and process signals in various science and technology fields. In this paper, daubechies family is adopted for the research of the characteristics of PD signals. The results show that the kurtosis is increased with discharge process and skewness is decreased with discharge process, but when PD occured positive range then skewness is increased. Segment 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 values is increased with discharge process, so phase distribution is characterized by 210$\sim$330 ranges.
