    Partial discharge (PD) analysis is a common method for condition monitoring and diagnostics of power transformers, which can be used as a tool for assessing the lifespan of transformers and can detect insulation malfunctions before they lead to failure. This report describes the development of analytical tools for PD activities within HV transformer windings. In most cases, PD will occur in transformer windings due to ageing processes, operational over stressing or defects introduced during manufacture, and different PD sources have different effects on the condition and performance of power equipment insulation system. Therefore, for further analyses, the ability to accurately distinguish between the PD signals generated from different sources is seen as a critical function for future diagnostic systems. Under realistic field conditions, multiple PD sources may be activated simultaneously within the transformer winding. An experiment has been designed to assess different methodologies for the identification and localisation of multiple PD sources within a HV transformer winding. Previous work at Southampton developed a non-linear based technique that facilitates identification of the location of a single PD source within an interleaved winding. It is assumed that any discharge occurring at any point along a winding will produce an electrical signal that will propagate as a travelling wave towards both ends of the winding. This project is concerned with the feasibility of locating several sources simultaneously based only on measurement data from wideband radio frequency current transformers (RFCTs) placed at the neutral to earth point and the bushing tap-point to earth. The proposed processing technique relies on the assumption that the PD pulses generated from different sources exhibit unique waveform characteristics. Due to termination and path taken characteristics, the PD signals will suffer attenuation and distortion during the propagation of the PD signals along transformer windings. Therefore, it will cause changes in the energy characteristics of the PD pulses at both measurement points, which can be used to separate, identify and locate the multiple PDs within an HV transformer winding. Based on analysis of the captured data from experiment, various approaches for identifying multiple PD sources have been assessed. Obtained results indicate that the analysis of absolute energy distributions determined using Mathematical Morphology and the use of OPTICS for clustering will reliably separate PD data from two sources that are simultaneously active within a distributed winding

    Multiple partial discharge source discrimination in a high voltage transformer winding

    Partial discharge (PD) analysis is an important technique for diagnosis and online monitoring of transformer insulation systems. PD within transformer windings may be due to several causes such as manufacturing defects, degradation of the primary insulation or contamination of the oil. The degradation processes occurring in dielectric insulation components can lead to development of different types of PD source [1], [2]. Multiple PD sources induced by different defects can be simultaneously present within the transformer winding. Therefore, it is necessary to develop tools to separate measurement data from multiple PD sources in order to facilitate separate PD source identification and location to allow accurate condition assessment of the winding. Conventional techniques for multiple PD source separation are based on analysis of the phase resolved PD (PRPD) pattern [3], [4]. However, in the presence of multiple PD sources, PRPD patterns generated by different PD sources can significantly overlap each other [5], [6]. By using PRPD pattern-based techniques, multiple PD sources cannot easily be separated as one PD source can be entirely immersed in the patterns of the other sources. Recently, there have been a number of techniques reported for separating multiple PD sources such as through the use of support vector machines (SVMs) or artificial neural networks (ANNs) [3], [7].This paper reports on a technique that relies on an initial assumption that different PD sources generate different waveform characteristics [8]. The measured discharge current signals from both ends of a transformer winding were decomposed using the Mathematical Morphology (MM) decomposition technique. Then, the energy distribution for each signal for each structure element (SE) length of MM was determined. The OPTICS algorithm was then used as a density based clustering technique to reveal different clusters of signals with similar calculated energy distributions.<br/

    Study on RIP current of Pengkalan Datu to Kuala Besar, Kelantan / Nik Ali Nik Cob

    Rip Current is strong narrow current that flows from the beach towards to the sea. It is one of the main mechanism by which water brought forward to the shore by breaking waves is returned back to the sea to satisfy continuity. Due to its strength and relative difficulty to detect, the presence of rip current is very dangerous especially on beaches used for recreational purposes. The aim of this study is therefore to detect the pattern and location of the rip currents at a selected beach, so as to make it safe for anyone using the beach. Rip currents depend a lot on seabed bathymetry, thus it is also important to relate changes in bathymetry due to sediment transport to shifting of the location of rip currents in the timescale involved

    Separation of Multiple Partial Discharge Sources Within a High Voltage Transformer Winding using Time Frequency Sparsity Roughness Mapping

    Partial discharge (PD) measurements can evaluate integrity of transformers’ condition insulation system. In high voltage (HV) power transformers, the winding system consists of multiple dielectric media all of which can degrade and subsequently exhibit pre-breakdown behavior, the ability to accurately separate between different PD signals generated from different sources is seen as an important function of diagnostic systems. This paper is concerned with the feasibility of locating two types of PD sources; surface and void discharges simultaneously into a HV transformer winding. Based on the fundamental theory using the theory of travelling waves along passive transmission lines, PD produces a signals that will propagate towards both ends of the transformer winding – the bushing and neutral to earth connection point from the source. Thus this paper is based only on measurement data from two wideband radio frequency current transformers (RFCTs) placed at the bushing tap-point to earth and neutral to earth point. After PD pulse extraction and mathematical morphology (MM)decomposition, time frequency sparsity roughness mapping is applied followed by density-based clustering of application with noise (DBSCAN) to separate multiple PD sources and estimate their location
