This paper proposes an optimal placement model of ultra-high frequency (UHF) sensors for accurate location of partial discharge (PD) in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). The model is based on 0-1 program in consideration of the attenuation influence on the propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves generated by PD in GIS. the optimal placement plan improves the economy, observability, and accuracy of PD locating. After synchronously acquiring the time of the initial EM waves reaching each UHF sensor, PD occurring time can be obtained. Then, initial locating results can be acquired by using the Euclidean distance measuring method and the extended time difference of arriving (TDOA) location method. With the information of all UHF sensors and the inherent topological structure of GIS, the locating accuracy can be further improved. The method is verified by experiment, showing that the method can avoid the influence of false information and obtain higher locating accuracy by revising initial locating results.
