Analysis of ultrasonic partial discharge characteristics of GIS’s reducing unit based on Finite Element Method

Abstract

GIS’s reducing unit is a new and environment-friendly structural unit, which can greatly reduce the consumption of aluminum alloy material and insulating gas. The structural size of this unit is much smaller than the conventional one. In this paper, an acoustic-structure coupling interaction model of partial discharge in reducing unit of gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is presented. The interaction between the internal acoustic source of partial discharge and structure of GIS is simulated with the finite element analysis, and the acoustic pressure levels distribution of GIS is obtained. The results show that the sound pressure distribution of the reducing unit is basically the same as that of the conventional one, but the amplitude is larger. At the same time, the high-frequency part of the acoustic signal attenuates more quickly in the reducing unit. This paper provides a theoretical guidance basis for the ultrasonic partial discharge detection of the GIS reducing unit.

“…At the same time, these gas molecules will further accelerate the occurrence of partial discharge, thereby reducing the insulation strength of electrical equipment and leading to insulation failure [8]. Therefore, in order to ensure the working stability and safety of electrical insulation equipment, it is necessary to find suitable gas sensors to detect the composition and content of these components to diagnose the type and severity of partial discharge, and assess the working status of GIS [6, 9, 10].…”
