“…Moreover, in this discrimination problem, energy‐based indices can intensify the difference between the sheath current of PD defective cable terminations and healthy ones, which facilitates the discrimination process. Though the authors have experienced different energy‐based indices [
17] and [
18], because of considerable difference of currents in different paths (shown in the previous section), the basic energy‐based index, that is, the cumulative signal energy (CSE), was found sufficient and efficient for discrimination between PD defective cable termination and healthy ones. This index is calculated by:
where
is the time step,
denotes the considered sheath current signal.…”
