Condition Monitoring of Power Cables

چکیده
A National Grid funded research project at Southampton has investigated possible methodologies for data acquisition, transmission and processing that will facilitate on-line continuous monitoring of partial discharges in high voltage polymeric cable systems. A method that only uses passive components at the measuring points has been developed and is outlined in this paper. More recent work, funded through the EPSRC Supergen V, UK Energy Infrastructure (AMPerES) grant in collaboration with UK electricity network operators has concentrated on the development of partial discharge data processing techniques that ultimately may allow continuous assessment of transmission asset health to be reliably determined.

متن کاملOn-site Portable Partial Discharge Detection Applied to Power Cables Using HFCT and UHF methods
Partial discharge (PD) events happen inside the power cables and cable terminations with the insulation degradation. The PD detection can effectively supply the information of cable status. According to the electrical and electromagnetic emission of PD activities, high-frequency transformer (HFCT) and ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) methods are employed to detect the PD signals. Besides, a portable P...

متن کاملOn-line Partial Discharge Monitoring System and Data Processing Using WTST-NST Filter for High Voltage Power Cable
Defects inside insulation of HV XLPE cable accessories can lead to partial discharge (PD) activity. When PD activity happens, leakage current may flow through the grounded line. To acquire the PD current signal, one practicable and effective method is placing a high frequency current transformer (HFCT) winding the grounded line. In order to measure the insulation degradation, a partial discharg...
