Transformers are known as one of the most important equipment in power system transmission and distribution networks. Partial Discharge (PD) measurement and PRPD interpretation is a powerful tool to monitor the situation and evaluating the risk of power transformer failure. Multiple discharge sources affect the accuracy of interpretation of PRPD. This paper presents a PD signal separation algorithm based on extraction of high level image features. The time- frequency S transform (ST) is applied to the PD signal waveforms, acquired by digital detection instruments at 100 MS/s. The resultant ST matrix is then converted to gray scale image from which high level features are extracted using Bag of Words (BoW). Principle component analysis (PCA) transform is applied to BoW feature to reduce the dimension of features. Calinski- Harabasz criterion is calculated to identify the number of active sources and then Gaussian mixture model (GMM) clustering is used to discover clusters in the feature space. The proposed separation algorithm is examined with mixed current impulse signals acquired from PD experiments on artificial multi- defect models. The separation results indicate that the proposed algorithm is effective for identifying the number of active sources and separating mixed PD signals initiated from multiple sources.

Identification of Free Conducting Particles in Transformer Oils using PD Signals
Anşin, Berfin; Vakilian, Mehdi (2015-01-01)
Transformers are known as one of the most important equipment in power system transmission and distribution network. Safety of transformer insulation is determined mainly by its insulating oil dielectric strength. A major concern which threaten the withstand strength of a liquid insulation is the presence of particle contamination. One of the best methods to detect any abnormality and insulation weakness inside the transformer insulation is based on partial discharge (PD) measurement. Here, to identify the ...

The Effect of the Types of Network Topologies on Non-Technical Losses in Secondary Electric Distribution Systems
Yorukoglu, Sinan; Nasibov, Fuad; Mungan, Mehmet; Bağrıyanık, Mustafa (2016-05-05)
A portion of generated electrical power is lost in transmission and distribution systems while serviced to endusers. These losses are called technical and non-technical losses in electricity distributions systems. With privatization processes taken place over the world, huge debate arose regarding nontechnical losses. In this study, information about types of losses in distribution systems, privatization process in Turkish electricity distribution network and current loss percentages are given. Possible alt...
