Positioning and Imaging Detection of Corona Discharge in Air with Double Helix Acoustic Sensors Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
Corona discharge could be a serious hazard to the outdoor insulation of a high-voltage (HV) system and also is an important detection issue for insulation status diagnosis. In this study, a double-helix-ultrasonic-array (DHUA) sensor was developed for corona positioning, which showed a good sensitivity to the ultrasonic signal originating from corona discharge and a satisfied directional response in static beam patterns. Based on the matting-based image fusion method, the acoustic intensity matrix was fused to a visual scene in real-time. This ultrasonic visualization technology was then evaluated with a simulation test and performed in a real air insulated substation (AIS), and showed a satisfied performance in terms of sensitivity and spatial location resolution.
