Having such monitoring amenable for online implementation is even more desirable. Mechanical deformations are difficult to detect with existing online condition monitoring tools as they hardly lead to any perceivable change in quantities that can be measured from terminals. Leakage flux, amongst all the power frequency parameters, is the most sensitive to changes in winding geometry. Understanding how the spatial distribution of leakage flux is altered by winding deformation would help in diagnosing such damages, preferably at their infancy, by means of flux sensors mounted along the axial height of a winding. As a preliminary study, only axial movements in the winding are considered in this paper. A Finite Element model was developed in Ansys Maxwell to emulate various degrees of axial movement at different places in the winding. The aspects of leakage flux based online winding damage diagnosis at their incipient stage, are investigated in detail with the computed leakage flux distribution and their results presented.","PeriodicalId":6529,"journal":{"name":"2018 Condition Monitoring and Diagnosis (CMD)","volume":"21 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79830797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this research is to establish reliable insulation diagnosis technique of high voltage equipment based on partial discharge detection using TEV method. Our previous study showed that TEV sensor dominantly detects high (several 100 MHz) and low frequency (several 10 MHz) components attributed to the electromagnetic wave propagating through space and discharge current flowing through the ground line, respectively. To investigate a mechanism of generated low frequency components further, this paper deals with the effect of the length of PD measurement circuit on the low frequency component detected by TEV sensor by experiments and simulation of electromagnetic wave propagation using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. As a result, it was found that the low frequency component includes two different kinds of dominant resonance frequencies determined by assuming the measurement circuit to act as a lumped constant electric circuit and as an antenna such as dipole antenna and loop antenna.","PeriodicalId":6529,"journal":{"name":"2018 Condition Monitoring and Diagnosis (CMD)","volume":"109 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76552383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, number of faults are frequently occurring in the inverter leading to adverse impacts on the reliability of the inverter and increasing the system maintenance and operational cost. Condition monitoring plays a vital role to ensure the reliability of the power electronic inverters through detecting incipient faults and rectify them before progression. There are a number of condition monitoring and fault diagnosis techniques to ensure the reliability of the inverter. Electrical signal based condition monitoring is one of the dominating techniques that is widely used to monitor the condition of power electronic inverters because it is easy to implement, cost effective, non-intrusive, able to detect early stage faults, fault location and mode.

To pre-empt the occurrence of flashover incidents, utility companies need to regularly monitor the condition of line insulators. Recent studies have shown that monitoring of ultra-violet (UV) signals emitted by surface discharges of the insulators is a promising technique. In this study, set of contaminated and aged insulator was used. UV pulse signal of surface discharges activities on these insulators was recorded and analyzed. Experimental result showed that a strong correlation exists between the discharge intensity levels under varying contamination levels and degree of ageing. As the contamination level increased, the discharge levels of the insulator samples intensified, resulting in the increase of total harmonic distortion (THD). THD of the UV signals have been employed by using MATLAB simulation to develop a technique based on artificial neural network (ANN) to classify the flashover prediction based on the discharge intensity levels of the insulator samples. The results of the ANN simulation showed 87% accuracy in the performance index. This study illustrates that UV pulse detection method can be a potential tool to monitor insulator surface conditions during service.","PeriodicalId":6529,"journal":{"name":"2018 Condition Monitoring and Diagnosis (CMD)","volume":"14 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88982006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, type selecting and parameters adjusting of antenna must consider the effects on antenna performance caused by the metallic environment of installation position. This paper designed and optimized a dual polarized planar antenna with the inverted-cone structure based on the requirements of PD detecting omnidirectional antenna in substation. In the bottom half of the antenna, cross - orthogonal trapezoidal plates are used to build up the inverted-cone structure to achieve the “up-warp” in the antenna E-plane radiation pattern, and the size of the bottom of the antenna is reduced by using a bottom circular plate with the outward-dipping edge.

Firstly, FDST is utilized to decompose the source images.

Specifically, thickness, degree of polymerization (DP), and compressive properties of oil-immersed PBs after heat-accelerated degradation in sealed containers were evaluated. The degree of crystallization (Cr) of oil-immersed PBs was then evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The evaluation results revealed that after thermal aging, DP decreased. Moreover, thickness, compressive elasticity modulus, and hysteresis loss ratio slightly decreased. Conversely, Cr slightly increased. DP of kraft paper is known to decrease after aging. Simultaneously, several compounds with low molecular weight, such as CO, CO2, and furfurals, are generated, and the tensile strength of kraft paper decreases. It is therefore assumed here that the thickness of PBs decreases very little as they generate low-molecular-weight decomposition compounds and that the decrease in DP causes a slight decrease in the compressive elasticity modulus, E. However, an increase in Cr causes a slight increase in E. As a result, the overall decrease in E is slight.","PeriodicalId":6529,"journal":{"name":"2018 Condition Monitoring and Diagnosis (CMD)","volume":"18 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73633163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
