Abstract
Partial discharge (PD) measurement is used for a diagnosis and performance assessment of the solid insulation material inside the high-voltage (HV) equipment. PD measurement indicates the presence of voids, cracks and imperfection present in solid insulation material. The major problem associated with this measured PD signal is heavily contaminated by noise which results in reduction in PD pattern recognition. The objective of this work is to measure and de-noise the PD signal due to cavity and recognize two different size of cavities present in three different locations, namely near HV electrode, center and lower electrode. In first part, the measured PD signal is de-noised using translation invariant wavelet transform. In second part, the three-dimensional (φ–q–n) PD patterns are extracted from the de-noised PD data. Then, it is subjected to canny edge detection technique, and the features like horizontal and vertical fractal dimension averages are evaluated using fractal image compression-based semi-variance technique. For classification, multi-class nonlinear support vector machine has been proposed to classify position and size of the cavity based on the PD fingerprints. The findings of this proposed work can be used to design a solid basis for an recognition of cavity size and position in an electrical apparatus.
