Abstract
A top-down experimental procedure for defect type recognition of epoxy-resin transformers by Partial Discharge (PD) is proposed. Most of the PD detection methods could be performed only at the shutdown period of equipments. By using Acoustic Emission (AE), the real-time and online detection could be reachable. Therefore, this paper conducted high voltage test of pre-faulty transformers and measured those PD signals for recognition needed. Afterward, the selected features that proposed in this paper can be extracted from these collected PD signals. According to these features, effective identification of their faulty types can be done using the proposed particle swarm optimization combined with neural network. Finally, with a view to apply in field, this research adds different noise levels to distort the original data. These distorted data are entered for subsequent testing. Research shows encouraging results that with 30% noise per discharge count, an 80% successful recognition rate can be achieved.
