A Smart Grid Overvoltage Identification System Associated with Partial Discharge Signal and Dielectric Loss Detection.

Capacitive equipment refers to its insulation design using the principle of capacitance of electrical equipment, mainly by a variety of different capacitive components in series. Most of the equipment in the substation is capacitive equipment. Once an insulation failure occurs, it will lead to extremely serious consequences. Monitoring grid overvoltage and insulation degradation of capacitive equipment is an effective means to ensure the stable operation of the power system. Therefore, in order to enhance the health management of capacitive equipment, including transformers, bushings, and current transformers, and to mitigate the risk of severe failures, it is imperative to conduct broad-spectrum frequency-domain online monitoring of overvoltages, dielectric losses, and partial discharge. However, the current monitoring work requires the utilization of multiple detection apparatuses. Aiming at the disadvantage that the existing inspection is not well integrated and requires a combination of multiple devices. This paper proposes a smart grid overvoltage identification system that utilizes partial discharge (PD) signals in correlation with dielectric loss detection. The system achieves synchronous detection of dielectric loss and high-frequency partial discharge by synchronously and in real-time acquiring four current signals from the power grid, enhancing the integration level of the hardware system.

A PRPD-Based UHF Filtering and Noise Reduction Algorithm for GIS Partial Discharge.

The online detection of partial discharge (PD) in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) is a crucial and powerful tool for maintaining their reliability. However, extracting weak discharge signals from strong disturbances is a significant challenge. The presence of noise can hamper the identification and localization of PD types, making the extraction of pure PD signals the focus of current research. This paper proposes a PRPD-based PD filtering algorithm that analyzes interference using the output information from PRPD and sets threshold parameters for noise reduction processing. This method is mainly used for secondary noise reduction at a later stage, without analyzing the noise source, to achieve effective signal acquisition while retaining the characteristics of the PD signals, thereby improving the system's sensitivity and the signal's purity.
