The presence of micro-discharges, which is caused by micro-protrusions or conductor surface roughness, was a potential hazard leading to non-uniform charging at the gas-solid interface of the insulators in DC gas-insulated equipment. It is crucial and necessary to measure micro-discharges. However, the low sensitivity of conventional methods limits their measurement range. In this letter, a highly...Show More
Temperature-stable piezoelectricity of dielectric polymers is demanded for accurate vibration sensing applications, but the thermal activated molecular motion could disrupt the polarization switching of electroactive crystalline regions, which precludes their applications in a wider temperature range. Here a general material design strategy to enhance the temperature stability of piezoelectric res...Show More
Optical ultrasonic sensor multiplexing for partial discharge (PD) detection based on a single photodetector is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a novel multiplexed optical ultrasonic sensing system based on swept frequency interferometry. Optical ultrasonic sensor multiplexing is achieved using different carrier frequencies that depend on the length differences between the sensing fib...Show More
To overcome the low sensitivity of power transformer partial discharge (PD) detection by a lead zirconate titanate (PZT) sensor, we propose a novel PD detection system based on phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings (PS-FBG). Compared with the conventional method, the proposed sensor can be installed inside the power transformer, which takes the advantage of the optical fiber status as an insulator. D...Show More
As a traditional approach of partial discharge (PD) in power transformers, ultrasonic detection with piezoelectric transducers (PZT) has drawbacks of low sensitivity and low detection efficiency. In order to overcome these disadvantages, an ultrasonic detection system based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is developed for PD in power transformers. Take the advantage of good insulation ability and imm...Show More
It is bushing that performs an essential function in power transformer. Since the existing on-line partial discharge (PD) test methods for bushings require the current from the test tap, it is difficult to be applied to in-service bushings, especially to some old bushings without voltage taps. In order to detect PDs without changing grounding circuit, a novel non-contacting on-line approach to det...Show More
As busing fault is a serious problem, the traditional method to detect it requires bushing tap grounding lines, but generally there are few in the worksite. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a bushing partial discharge detection and pattern recognition method based on ultra-high frequency technology. According to the typical defects in actual bushings, four PD defect models were ...Show More
It is bushing faults that cause most of transformer unplanned outages. Until now, preventive test methods are widely used for estimating the insulation condition of bushings. Since the preventive test cycle is too long, it is difficult to find out latent defects effectively. In this paper, on-line partial discharge (PD) detection method and a TDOA location method based on ultra-high frequency (UHF...Show More
