Review on Partial Discharge Detection Techniques Related to High Voltage Power Equipment Using Different Sensors

When operating an equipment or a power system at high voltage , problems associated with partial discharge (PD) can be tracked down to electromagnetic emission, acoustic emission or chemical reactions such as the formation of ozone and nitrous oxide gases. High Voltage equipment and High Voltage...

Description
Summary:When operating an equipment or a power system at high voltage , problems associated with partial discharge (PD) can be tracked down to electromagnetic emission, acoustic emission or chemical reactions such as the formation of ozone and nitrous oxide gases. High Voltage equipment and High Voltage installation owners have come to terms with the need for conditions monitoring process of PD in equipment such as power transformers, gas insulated substations (GIS) and cable installations. This paper reviews the available PD detection methods (involving high voltage equipment) such as electrical detection, chemical detection, acoustic detection and optical detection. Advantages and disadvantages of each method have been explored and compared. The review suggests that optical detection techniques provide many advantages from the consideration of accuracy and suitability for the applications when compared to other techniques.
