Description
Summary:Partial discharge is an important symptom of cable aging, and timely detection of potential defects is of great significance to ensure the stability and safety of the power supply. However, due to the diversity of inspection equipment and information blockage, the staff often show blindness to the partial discharge spectrum and the defects corresponding to the spectrum. In view of this phenomenon, a partial discharge spectrum recognition method based on a convolutional neural network was developed. Firstly, a database of typical partial discharge spectrum was established, including partial amplifiers in the laboratory and at the work site, and then the convolutional neural network was used to train the defect spectral library. This paper proposes a processing technology for the on-site partial discharge spectrum; the unified grayscale image is obtained by grayscale processing, linearized stretching and size unification, and then the shape and color feature parameters are extracted according to the grayscale image, which solves the image distortion and statistical spectrum movement caused by the on-site environment or photographic angle on the user side. The partial discharge type can be obtained by comparing the processed spectrum with the database through the intelligent terminal, which greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of on-site operations.
