Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of signal processing, and in particular to a method and system for denoising partial discharge signals of power equipment. Background Art
[0002] Partial discharge (PD) is an important signal indicative of insulation degradation in power equipment, and its accurate detection is crucial for safe equipment operation. However, actual PD signals collected are often affected by white noise and narrowband interference, resulting in a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), making it difficult to extract effective signal features.
[0003] Common denoising methods used in existing technologies include Fourier transforms, wavelet transforms, and empirical mode decomposition (EMD). For example, wavelet transforms denoise signals using a preset threshold, but threshold selection relies on experience and is difficult to adapt to dynamic noise environments. While EMD can decompose non-stationary signals, it is susceptible to modal aliasing and is sensitive to white noise. Furthermore, existing methods often require additional filtering steps when processing narrowband interference, increasing computational complexity and the need for manual intervention. However, existing methods still have the following shortcomings in partial discharge signal processing: 1. After EEMD decomposition, the identification rules of noise IMF are relatively simple, which may misjudge the signal components; 2. Wavelet threshold optimization lacks specificity and cannot adapt to the noise characteristics of different IMFs; 3. The effect of removing complex interference (such as narrowband interference) is limited.
[0004] To address these issues, a PD signal processing method with strong adaptability and excellent denoising performance is urgently needed to improve signal extraction accuracy in complex noisy environments. To this end, this paper proposes an improved denoising method that optimizes the IMF identification rules of EEMD and combines it with the PSO algorithm to adaptively adjust the wavelet threshold for each noise IMF, further improving the denoising performance of PD signals.

[0030] 3. Denoising Execution A soft threshold function is applied to the noise IMF for denoising, while the signal-related IMF remains unchanged.
[0031] Step 4: Signal reconstruction and performance evaluation Reconstruction: Add the denoised IMF to the retained signal IMF to obtain the denoised signal .
