Collaboration with the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) and the University of Cyprus (UCY) has allowed development of an experiment in a distribution substation. Temperature condition monitoring units were installed on selected underground cable joints within MV sub-station in Cyprus. Real-time current loading data, weather conditions as well as surface temperature by the cable joints are used...
Partial Discharge (PD) measurements in cables and their accessories play a fundamental role in Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) of High Voltage (HV) equipment. CBM monitoring has been enforced by utilities in the transmission and distribution (T&D) environment as part of a predictive maintenance program that aims to result in less unscheduled downtime and lower maintenance cost. Identifying the...
The Support Vector Machine (SVM) method has been used with success in classifying Partial Discharge (PD) data of different sources. In this work it was investigated whether the previous success of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) could be extended to the case where a PD measurement was corrupted by Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). Data was collected from experiments using PDs of different sources...
Two signal classification methods have been examined to discover their suitability for the task of partial discharge (PD) identification. An experiment has been designed to artificially mimic signals produced by a range of PD sources that are known to occur within high voltage (HV) items of plant. The bushing tap point of a large Auto-transformer has been highlighted as a possible point on which to...
Partial discharge (PD) classification in power cable accessories and high voltage equipment in general is essential in evaluating the severity of the damage in the insulation. In this article, the PD classification was realised as a two-fold process. Firstly, measurements taken from a high-frequency current transformer (HFCT) sensor were represented as features by means of a transformation to the...
The identification of partial discharges in high voltage equipment has emerged as one of the most effective condition monitoring methods for assessing the integrity of the equipment under test. The fact that the application of PD monitoring methods is being applied online makes the measurements suffer from noise, inevitable at the measurement point, and reduces the sensitivity of the measurements...
