A method for identifying the operating state of deteriorated insulators based on partial discharge signal reconstruction algorithm and spatial electric field distribution law

Abstract

In order to improve the accuracy of identifying the working status of degraded insulators and thereby contribute to preventive maintenance and repair, this proposes a method for identifying the operating status of deteriorated insulators based on a partial discharge signal reconstruction algorithm and spatial electric field distribution law. Firstly, the partial discharge signal of the deteriorated insulator is obtained through capacitive sensor technology and clustering analysis algorithm. Then, the mapping features between the partial discharge signal and the electric field distribution are extracted using the SN-EMD algorithm to determine the spatial electric field distribution on the surface of the insulator. Finally, a state recognition model is established based on the hidden Markov model to identify the operating status of deteriorated insulators. The experimental results show that the method designed in this paper has superior performance in terms of accuracy.
