Partial Discharges and Noise Discrimination Using Magnetic Antennas, the Cross Wavelet Transform and Support Vector Machines

Abstract

This paper presents a wavelet analysis technique together with support vector machines (SVM) to discriminate partial discharges (PD) from external disturbances (electromagnetic noise) in a GIS PD measuring system based on magnetic antennas. The technique uses the Cross Wavelet Transform (XWT) to process the PD signals and the external disturbances coming from the magnetic antennas installed in the GIS compartments. The measurements were performed in a high voltage (HV) GIS containing a source of PD and common-mode external disturbances, where the external disturbances were created by an electric dipole radiator placed in the middle of the GIS. The PD were created by connecting a needle to the main conductor in one of the GIS compartments. The cross wavelet transform and its local relative phase were used for feature extraction from the PD and the external noise. The features extracted formed linearly separable clusters of PD and external disturbances. These clusters were automatically classified by a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. The SVM presented an error rate of 0.33%, correctly classifying 99.66% of the signals. The technique is intended to reduce the PD false positive indications of the common-mode signals created by an electric dipole. The measuring system fundamentals, the XWT foundations, the features extraction, the data analysis, the classification algorithm, and the experimental results are presented.

The Stereo Communication Method of Artistic Visual Image Based on CAD Platform

“…is image contains the low-frequency information of the original image [14]. In the logarithmic domain, the difference between the original image and the approximate image is used to obtain the reflection component map R(a, b) of the original image.…”

A Method for Evaluating the Accuracy of Vocal Art Performance of Singers’ Voices Based on Sensor Space Localization Algorithm

“…In a narrow sense, it refers to the range of individual voices or musical instruments. e range of human voice refers to the part that the human voice can cover in the whole range [7,[16][17][18]. Each person's congenital vocal cord size, length, thickness, and whether the day after tomorrow has undergone systematic vocal training determine the individual range.…”

Design and Characterization of a Magnetic Loop Antenna for Partial Discharge Measurements in Gas Insulated Substations

“…An intentional delay between signals was introduced to better visualize the results in the time domain. Authors in [9] show that it is possible to discriminate interference from PD signal by using symmetric lobes in each half of the mounting hole; the following plots in the time domain show the symmetry of the measurements when the signal is injected uniformly in the GIS.…”
