Investigation of partial discharge characteristics in XLPE cable insulation under increasing electrical stress

Insulation degradation in power components is a looming issue that can have a significant impact on the reliability of power system if not attended timely. Partial discharge (PD) diagnostics is a key technique used for the condition monitoring and health assessment of insulation. Inception of PD is...

description Insulation degradation in power components is a looming issue that can have a significant impact on the reliability of power system if not attended timely. Partial discharge (PD) diagnostics is a key technique used for the condition monitoring and health assessment of insulation. Inception of PD is a primary indicator which shows degradation and decreased local dielectric strength of the insulation. PD magnitude can increase with time and level of stress, which may result in failure of insulation. This article investigates the behavior of PD characteristics in a medium voltage (MV) cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable sample, containing a defect at the cable termination, under elevated electrical stresses. PD behavior is studied by investigating the key PD characteristics, such as partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV), phase of occurrence (?), mean amplitude (Vmean), pulse repetition rate (PRR), and phase span (?span). These quantities are extracted from a phase-resolved partial discharge (PRPD) pattern using a pulse detection algorithm. Later, these characteristics are analyzed in correlation with the electrical stress. Various regression models are implemented and compared to find the best fit model that represents trending attributes of major PD characteristics. The presented study can be used as an effective process to analyze the measured PD data for evaluation of the insulation condition in the power components. ? 2024 Elsevier Ltd
