For further clarifying the relativity between sensor response and partial discharge activity,the discharge in GIS tank was monitored simultaneously through conventional pulse current method and a SWCNTs gas sensor,and the measurement results were put together for comparative analysis in this paper.The sensor response showed a great dependence on partial discharge characteristics.The sensor response increased nearly linearly with limits when the energy of discharge was persistently accumulated.Partial discharge power had a great influence on the response rate and the time delay.With the increase of partial discharge power,the response rate augmented almost in proportion while the time delay gradually becomes shorter with limits.The results were quite favorable to assess the partial discharge intensity and duration to some extent.Compared with pulse current method,the sensor was predominant to detect partial discharge exposed to constantly high levels of noise.It was capable of detecting partial discharge which was too weak to be detected with pulse current method.However,the sensor response didn't show much dependency on the apparent discharge of partial discharge.展开更多

This paper aims to present a GIS discharge diagnosis technique adopting gaseous decompositions. To reach this aim, needle-plate electrode and the sphere-plate electrode with metallic particles on the plate are designed to simulate two kinds of low energy discharge, namely, corona discharge and spark discharge, respectively. After sampling and analyzing the gases, different yields of gaseous by-products under different types of low energy discharge are obtained. Based on the decomposition mechanisms reported by previous researches and the experiment results, it can be concluded that S2OF10, SO2F2 , and SO2 can be used as the characteristic gas to identify low energy discharge; the increment of S2OF10 can indicate the occurrence of low energy discharges while the volume ratio between SO2F2 and SO2 can define the type of low energy discharge.展开更多
